Good luck getting the deer damage undone!
Okay, I am sure I will get some sympathy here...
1995 BMW 525i
Dec 2005 - hit my first deer after driving for 28 some years... No big deal, get a new head light assembly, never even claimed it....
Feb 2006 - get rear ended, no big deal, car is slightly damaged ($600), had the dealer fix it, nothing out of my pocket and have a repainted bumper now...
Tonight - get a call from my wife, she hit a deer. What really hurts is she was driving MY CAR!!!! Can you say - THIS SUCKS (yea yea she is fine, at the moment ...) Bumper, hood and fender damage....
I can't believe it...
On the bright side, I may have the front end of the car fully repainted?

In Oz we have "Roo bars" or Bull bars":
Here is my dirty, insect spattered bull bar on my F 250.
Perhaps some-one should make deer bars for your E34s - here in Oz you can even get them made out of plastic or, of course, aluminium.
Sorry once more for the picture (camera-phone) quality.
Edit : BTW - Gayle - you kept wanting to see a picture of my Effie - here it is !
