Ouch, good luck with your fix. I hope you can use a BMW Certified Body shop. Usually, BMW dealerships are connected to them.
The other guys insurance should pay for the whole thing and make sure they do what you want, not the other way around. Also, you could ask for the rental on their tab. Contact your insurance too so that they can fight State Farm on your behalf as well.
Again, good luck and post the "after" pics. Your car looks fantastic, BTW. I too want that matte black grille

State Farm is good about paying Diminished Value (the lost market value of your car now that it has been in a wreck). Stae Farm is good in general actually. Also in terms of frame damage, people, we have unibody cars not frame over body like back in the day. There is damage to the frame!

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Ouch, sorry about that. The most important thing is that you're OK. Did the side curtain deploy?
