I think you need to talk to a lawyer about the pain in your neck.

And sorry for your car it looks like damages arent as bad as they could be, feel for you.

I'm sorry LG,
The same happened to me 2 months ago. here
The advantage for me, was the cost of the whole M pack kit at 1/3 of the dealer's price.
So the advantage for you, could be a quad exhaust with M5 OEM rear bumper (like SG535D's car) here

edit: Did the head restrain system of the comfort seats exploded during the crash?

Sorry to hear, but I feel your pain. I got hit 2 weeks ago while I was trying to turn as well. I really hope everything gets fixed back to the way you had it.

Pay attention to that question.

Mine was hit by a drunk driver when i was parked. From outside i could see the bumper was bad, a tail light broken and the exhaust was hit too.
You know what ? It costed around 2.500 ? to repair it (insurance company).

The complete bumper, tail light and yes, the complete exhaust from the rear muffler to the particle filter in the front.
The rear differential cover was replaced too (the one it looks like a small grid below the car when you see it from behind).
