Bummer - I'm in Southern NJ and can't help you but you should be getting recommendations quickly. If you were rear-ended the other party's insurance is picking up the tab - get thee to your favorite dealer with a BMW Certified Bodyshop!

Yeah, their insurance already called telling me to go and get the estimate and send it to them. I was going to go the the dealer by default, but I'd figure I'd ask here anyways (since you all are the experts, right???).

How extend was the damage? Just the rear bumper. What are you going to replace it with? I know a BMW dealer in North Jersey (Bloomfield) if you are willing to travel. You might get a cool loaner to drive around (depends on your policy).

Good luck!

Well the bumper either needs serious fixing or replaced, the muffler got banged up, and I think a little of the undercarriage plastic might be broken. I was actually thinking of upgrading to an m-tech kit maybe.
And Bloomfield is a little far, JMK in Springfield is closer and I know their body shop is BMW certified. Thanks though. And the insurance people told me that yes, I will get a loaner, but "it most likely will not be a BMW." I thought that was funny when she said that.
