+1. It'll get fixed properly there, with OEM parts. They fixed my E46 ZHP (pics) with similar damage (sideswipe, no airbags) and it was about 13K. They helped tremendously with the insurance issues, too.

The accident will show on Carfax, which means you'll take a hit come time to trade or sell. However, this is where diminished value comes in. See here for more: http://hauryscollision.com/our-services/consulting/

My diminished value claim was about 4K, which made up for the loss of value (and then some) when I sold my E46 ZHP.
