I like B&S Hacienda in Pleasanton, and Baron Von Frier in Berkeley, both expensive but top notch.

B-Line Bodyshop. They specialize in BMW. Also if the other parties insurance is paying for it I highly recommend this shop. If I was you I would call them soon and make an appointment even if you decide not to go with them just put your name on the list, they are always busy and there will be a wait.

Hey Ernie, Angela told me about this yesterday as she was leaving to get you...totally sucks.

You should ask her to check with one of our sales guys. They'll be able to recommend you a good shop.

One of the sales guys also recommended B-Line so I stopped by there...

Estimate was just under $7,800.00 :(:(:(:(
I might be parting it out soon.... :(

WTF? So I'm guessing this is not being covered by the other parties insurance?

I won't know anything until Thursday, thats when the insurance is going to inspect my car. But , my car is only worth a little over $5,000 according to KBB.com and I've dropped over $2,000 into the front end alone..... I think I'm screwed. :mad
