I have the same vintage 300E with almost identical mileage and this is a situation I assume I'll be in at some point as I seem to have to dodge deer on an almost daily basis.

my only request is that you keep us posted on how things progress.

Also, do get your insurance company involved immediately.

Good luck. I hope all turns out well for you and the car.
