Yes, insurance is supposed to cover this but they want to pay for a salvaged light at $1800. I wanted to use a BMW certified body shop but they won't install salvaged parts. To top it off all the body shops are backed up into May, June and even July.

It is turning into a painful experience.
More damage than just headlight, minor finder damage and another piece.
