I stopped by the collision shop today and spoke to the shop manager (he invited me). This place is a 40K square foot building and it is immaculate.
Here are 2 photos that I snapped while I was there (if anyone cares to see the inside of the 535). He should have the assessment completed by the end of the week.
Thanks for everyone's input and support thus far. I will keep you all posted on the progress.

Some superglue and touch up paint and it'll be better than new! 
Seriously, I hope for your benefit, they offer your car for organ transplants and get you rolling in a new vehicle that hasn't needed rebuilding.

My Ride: 07' 530d - M-Sport - Titanium Silver / Black Dakota leather
08' 120i - M-Sport - Alpine White III / Black Sensatec
It will be as good as new. 2002 I had a similar accident with my old (then 2 months old) E46 and then drove 110000km with it after that with no problems at all. Good luck anyways.

I made my feelings known to the shop manager.... if at all possible, please total the car. They certainly are not hurting for business... a 40K square foot building packed full of cars that need to be repaired.
