And since you're a long-term owner, you don't have to worry that much about diminished value anyway. The damage isn't horrible, and should be able to be perfectly corrected. Get it fixed, enjoy the hell out of the car, and laugh about this experience in five years.

The party at fault wants to go through his insurance and they want to use the BMW dealership I got the car from so I assume it will show up on the carfax |
Don't be so sure.
I had a $9k insurance claim on my old F80 that was fixed at my dealer and they sold it as a "one owner no accident" car (I upgraded it).
No Carfax hit.
