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

 

AHH!! SHIT!! Remember to have them get u a rental with their reimbursement. Call me if you need to find places to fix it. I know a couple places that does amazing work.

He used plastidip for his grills. $6 later from homedepot!

 

Zay, did the side airbags deploy???????

 

sorry about what happen and glad your okay, try to get the car totaled as you may already know the retail value will never be the same and i don't think its fair for you!!

good luck.

 

ouch man. how it all works out

 

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!

 

They for all the kind and wise words guys. I love my car but a total loss wouldnt be bad, I want a 6-speed

 

Ouch, sorry about that. The most important thing is that you're OK. Did the side curtain deploy?

 

Edit* he had Allstate

 

What year is your car?

Sorry to burst the bubble, but that doesn't look totaled to me. It'll probably be $6-8k to fix if I were to guess.
