UPDATE:
I just got off the phone with the shop manager. My car is totally apart now and the parts have been ordered.
The repair and final BMW inspection process may take ..... 3 months!!!!!

When does your car rental insurance run out? My was good for 30 days.
For what it is worth that is not a 30 day job if they have the parts and they work straight through. I would find a different body shop.

Another example of ALLstate (aka ALLsnake/ALLheart) at work. They spend their money on advertising, and very little paying on claims for their own insureds.
They're typically quite horrible, not only to liability claimants, but to their own insureds as well.
Dont just take my word on it - they just had their right to write new policies SUSPENDED this week in the State of Florida by the Florida insurance commissioner. Check it out, the story is online...

Remember, even if your own rental coverage runs out, the guy who clocked you owes you "loss of use", meaning he has to pay the value of a fair rental for the time your car is down, so long as reasonable progress is being made.
