    The car got fixed in late Feb; three months after the accident. The opposing insurance adjuster is a BMW fan so he helped saved my car instead of salvaging it. Plus it helped to use a tier 1 autobody who can negotiate with the adjuster and do a re-quote. That being said, it was in the shop 4 weeks and I got a loaner car. I've been wanting to upload these after-repair pictures. They scrapped and repainted the whole driver side section including the wrap-around rear bumper. They also repainted the fender around the driver's wheel, which you can tell that the hood has chips versus none on the fender but eventually over time the fender will get chipped and blend right in. Overall the auto-body did an execellent job. The paint(Sparkling Grapthite Metallic) was a 95% match; and you have to really look for the mismatch between old and new paint and via the flow pattern of the paint between those sections. Eventually in 4+ years, the other major sections(or entire)may need a new paint job from the hot sun here. I already have some oxidation on the hood. I really like this color though.

    Forgot to mention, the rear wheel that was scratched in the accident got reconditioned and looks shiny like new. So I'm more attentive these days to keep all my wheels clean...
