Going through the claims process with USAA now, do I authorize them to take it to their "preferred" shop for the inspection, or do I have them come to me (had AAA tow it back to the house) and do the inspection in my driveway? If the car was to be fixed, then I expect it to be at a certified BMW collision repair facility, so do I just tell the inspector I want it done by the BMW dealer?

I'm just hoping we don't come out screwed on this...a blemish on the carfax, and taking a big loss when it's time to sell.
Astounding. In any sort of accident round here where police attend, all drivers are going to get bagged, regardless of "fault".

However, the police may have done you a favour. It may be that if the other driver blew over, his insurance would be voided- leaving you/your company to persue him personally/civilly.

based on your photos, that car wont be totalled.
