My Ride: 2006 550i Silver Grey w/ Sports Package
Got hit on the 110 Fwy on my way home from work yesterday. I was unfortunately stuck in the middle, so I have both front and rear damage. Damage seems to be cosmetic and no sheet metal issues. Need front and rear bumpers and a hood from what I can see on the exterior. The guy who hit me has a late 90's Honda Accord, he had major front end issues and needed to be towed. My 06 550i survived well considering his damage.
Enough of the accident details... I want to take my car to a body shop that is familiar with BMW's so I don't end up with non-oem parts not to mention a two-tone car . If any of you can point me in the direction of a excellent shop in the Los Angeles area I would appreciate it.
BTW He has insurance...
Thanks in advance....

M-KIT would be awesome... anyone have any issues asking the insurance company/body shop to make the change going from stock bumpers to the m-tech kit.
