VIDEO: Wrecked My Brand New BMW M4 Comp 😩 Totaled?
Was taking a much anticipated road trip from ohio to Florida last night and left my house around 12am because I couldn’t sleep I was so excited.
Welp turns out that was a bad idea as heading south from Columbus down through southern ohio at the wee hours of the morning the roads are full of deer and I didn’t realize it until it was too late. Smacked a full grown female (which apparently survived) but the front end of my M4 was hurt pretty bad. Hopefully not totaled. But you can see in the video the video. Be careful out there folks. Sometimes talking the major interstates are better than the short cut back roads. ������ |

Sorry to hear about your car.
Good that the deer lived. Hopefully insurance goes smooth.

Sorry to hear that OP. I’ve had a close call, similar to yours previously.
I picked a previous car up in Iowa and drove back to Houston over the weekend. On the Saturday night I overnighted in Kansas and took off early Sunday morning, because I couldn’t sleep. Few miles down the road I missed a deer by a hairs length when it jumped out in front of me. I think twice about that these days when planning journeys. |

But look cars can be replaced. We can’t replace you. So I am glad you’re safe and live to fight another day. Just next time try to hit them. It will feel very odd and not right but you will miss them. Ive actually done it with Moose and Elk. |

Damn, the guy came on here to comment about a tragedy about a accident and most of the comments are chastising his misfortune. Regardless of his channel or fame, he is a part of this forum and BMW community. Op, sorry for your misfortune and thank God you are safe.
You can tell when someone wasn't raised right as soon as they open their mouth.

Sorry to hear OP. Tons of deer around me and it's my worst fear. Sometimes there's nothing you can do but hit them.

Thanks man I'm just glad it was not worse and the airbag did not deploy. The first shop that I took the car to gave some really high quote, so we'll see what State Farm says about it.

I'm 50. But my thought process was:
But all of that happened within like 2 seconds of impact when the deer appeared waltzing out onto the highway from the dark. There were also no lights on this particular stretch of road just my headlights. I could have braked harder potentially, or swerved but my thoughts of something worse possibly happening prevented me from doing either. |

I ended up flying down to Florida and rented a 2021 Supra and that was a blast. Very fun little car. If it wasnt so ugly I would want one. |
