Miami Body Shop Recco's for Daughter's 325xi?

My daughter moved from Boston to Miami last month as some of you know. (Thanks again for offering to provide emergency help along her way, although it was not needed.)

Just learned that someone at a light turned left from the right lane into her RF quarter panel. She called the police right off. Other driver admitted liability.

Any recommendations for a trustworthy shop in Miami that will do right by her 2006 325xi?

TIA for your help.

Phil

Leave the car dented, because it's only a matter of time before another "Myjammi" Third-worlder runs in to her again.

The person that hit her stopped AND had insurance?!? They must not be "local" either...)

If you go over to Rennlist and inquire in the "Driver's Club International" regional forum, you'll get a quick answer. Lot's of Miami folk there.

The Geezer's are here in Broward/Palm Beach. Miami's bad driver's are Julio's and Caribbean Islander's..(...last month they were driving a donkey cart, this month they're driving 45mph in the center lane of I-95).

Danny_Ocean, seriously, keep the distateful and offensive comments off the board. A good source would be your local BMW dealer, especially since it is an insurance claim, they will also have to warrantee their work as part of their dealer standards.

Ah yes... the drivers in God's Waiting Room suck. I could be driving a tank and they still wouldn't see me. I cannot wait for May to arrive when they all fly home to go screw up someone else's day. I recommend your daughter remove the mufflers and go straight pipes. It is really the only way that other drivers notice you here... even if they are all using internationally know finger gestures

My whole family are Caribbean Islanders.....

We've been in South Florida since 1982. Before that, I don't remember being in a donkey cart, or for that matter, ever stepping foot in one.

Not that driving a donkey cart is a bad thing.......

Quite offensive there ... that "third-worlder" may be down there for spring training and making 8 million a year and likely speaks one more language than you do.

enjoy casting your vote for Newt Gingrich in the primaries today.

Spring-training $8mil/year third-worlders drive Lambo's and Bentleys. The folks you need to watch out for drive rusted Toyota Camry's/4Runners (Haitian Limousines).

Newt Ginrich?!? LOL. I'm writing in David Duke.
