damn, Wiley Coyote, good job!

I myself was going at speed and whacked a bird with my windshield. Can't believe this bird was flying that low...surprised the shield didn't crack, just green bird guts splattered all over the glass...

Some say that bird-intake mods add 5whp. A drop of blood in the S65 sends it into a blind rage of increased rpm.

The M3 got some serious suction. What a way to die.

OWNED!

Remove the dust in the engine bay & the car will be kilos lighter! Better performance = increase in speed!

I've hit several big ass rabbits in the desert here. They break the front underpan and the side pieces. Good thing they are cheap to replace.

FogCityM3 · 05-09-2013, 02:42 PM

Yes, and actually after I went full throttle, the feathers that were stuck and trying to come out of the vent then got sucked back in (indicating air flow in the opposite direction at WOT). Quite an interesting intake design, as others have pointed out.

If you had been going faster you would have missed him.

DBH · 05-09-2013, 07:15 PM

Well, at least put in a new air filter!

Bet he won't have the guts to try that again.

Nice kill!

LemonOne · 05-10-2013, 04:45 PM

Your M3 is officially haunted.

s14_kev · 05-10-2013, 05:40 PM

LOL, poor bird. Funny story though

SMG M3 · 05-10-2013, 09:21 PM

hit a little black bird today it just bounced off the bumper then barreled rolled to side of road.

ducman · 05-10-2013, 09:31 PM

Good job. That's one less bird shitting on our cars.

Wyfi · 05-20-2013, 10:28 PM

You gotta wonder if the other birds that witnessed the carnage wonder if he destroyed your intake...

Someone? · 05-20-2013, 10:32 PM

Well that sucks for the bird, but getn sucked by an M is probably a good way to go,lol
