Incredible accident plus need part
 

Changing lanes at about 70 miles, I noticed some junk on the highway (Quebec>normal) and swerved as to minimize impact damage.
I couldn't avoid it completely as I would swerve out of control plus I didn't swerve too much cause I would rather have front end damage than side.
I hear a bang and look down as I'm driving...
OMG...a frigging rod protruding right next to my leg.
Yes.. the rod went through the base of the car and ended right next to my ankle.
This thing could have killed me!

Luckilly I hit it just perfect to avoid radiator damage and I didn't damage the side of the car or blow the tire which really could have been bad.

Anyway, I took the rod out the hole...
It's a 3.5 foot rod over 1/2 an inch square of pure metal (not hollow) I'm sure it's a broken part of something that hold's temporary highway signs up.

DAMAGES> (I won't claim, as I have a $1000 deductible)
The front bumper fibreglass is chipped, I would rather stick to the OEM bumper and I will get it repaired and painted.

One of the fog lights (//M) is lost and M3 air duct>no biggie.

Problem is, the fog light clip and housing is lost.
Where can I get the part?

I looked at realOEM but no luck..Please help.

Considering the size and weight of the rod, I actually feel quite lucky to get away with such little damage.

Whoa.... Just whoa.... That's pretty shocking. Glad it didn't harm you. Can you get us some pics?

wow, you must have hit it just perfectly to send it up through the floor :eek:

foglights are the same between the regular and non M bumpers, so anyone parting a ti with foglights should have the parts you need

this happened to my friend back in oregon...

crazy!

It's a good thing those seats are already brown . . . hides the stain!

The part I was looking for is under "fog Lights", I was looking at "front end" instead...duh!
Thesk8nmidget, that's incredible!
