Hit A Racoon =\\

Hit a racoon on a main highway doing 80 messed up my bottom front lip pretty and the front bumper cover mesh broke off. I have a 2011 528i and I've been trying to look for the mesh online but can't find it anywhere where can I buy it?

If DEVF10 was doing 80, I think that switching to an M Sport bumper is going to be the last thing on the Racoon's mind. A good bit of Racoon R+R is in order first me thinks

lucky the damage wasnt worse, friend of mine hit a deer and car was totaled. Of course racoons have a smaller mass but they can get pretty big.

better than hitting a pot hole. I got a $6000 bill, not including a new tire and wheel repair which was covered under my tire/wheel warranty.

Are you going to put a Racoon sticker on the car? 4 more and you will be an ACE!

Serioulsy...........I think I've hit just about every animal on the planet...or at least it seems like it. Most did some kind of damage to my car, one though (a deer) came close to doing a lot more. Good luck with the repairs.
