+1 on Dicks Autobody. They do great work and have been around for a while. Had my X5 repaired there twice and never had an issue.

I'm glad you're ok. Depending on the speed and severity your car may or may not be totaled since an E90 335xi sedan is still worth a lot. I have to +1 on the recommendation for Phil Jr. @ Sansossio autobody. He works on mostly bimmers and has done work up to the standards of the pickiest owners. I say give him a call, (speak to him a directly) give the other shops a call too and then make up your mind for yourself.

Is it totaled?

Car was deemed total loss by the insurance co.

I settled and negotiated.
I loved the car, but fixing it was too much of a risk and I did not want the
salvage title etc. I ended up with a 2008 328xi sedan CPO with 35k miles.
Silver on black. It has no options but heated power seats and an automatic.
I miss my 335xi, but the 328 has its own pluses. Power is not one of them.
Its less refined. But its more tossable and better 50-50 balanced. Also 200lbs lighter.
I like valvetronic (makes nice smooth power) and I can rev this one and actually use
the power (I never really pushed the 335xi since i was planning to keep it for a long time). So I am pissed as all hell to lose the turbo beast, but I feel like I am going to
fall in love with the simplicity/utility of the 328xi. Maybe (almost definitely) in a few years I will trade up for another N54 or the N55.

Oh and I got the 2008 328xi for 23,900 with .09 interest and 6/100 CPO not a bad deal I think?
