^ sounds kinda like BMW of San Diego, a Penske owned dealership. Their body shop is technically the Mercedes shop but they do repairs for all the Penske dealerships in the area

got this diagram from someone on e46f..
I think I need #3 and #19. maybe not even #19
Call the shop before you head over, let them know the sitch, and that you want OEM parts. In fact, it's better if you don't have the adjuster with you, as the shops charge full parts, labor and markup when the insurance is paying. But, given that the adjuster will be there, it is what it is. Maybe the shop can help you out by backing your fit/finish argument.
EDIT: I'll add, for example, that once I told the shop that I was paying for a $700 repair for my wife's car and not the insurance, and I couldn't pay that much, they came back with an estimate of $400.
