Mein Auto: 2013 BMW 328i
Question Collision repair place (insurance is paying) in SF Bay area

Hi everyone,
My almost brand new BMW 328 was recently hit by someone. Their insurance is paying for all the damages, which include door, quarter panel, and rear bumper. The speed was low, so I suspect only panels got bent, nothing underneath (hopefully).
I am thinking of using a dealership (since cost does not matter for me). Which place would you recommend for such body work in the Bay Area? I live in Palo Alto, but could travel within the area.

Thank you!

I was very pleased with the work B-Line in San Jose did on my 335d after I was rear-ended (low speed). They were fast, friendly, and my car came back looking showroom new. They even took care of a nasty ding near the damaged area at no extra charge.

Thanks!
My worry with independent shops is that they might have paint mismatch since they don't have access to BMW proprietary paint, and my car's color (orion silver) is somewhat non-standard (i.e. stock BMW color, but not so common).
