Please help my E55 got hit!
Last week i was in the parking lot and a BMW 3-series backed up into the right side of my car. dead center messing the alignment of both doors. I want to get this fixed asap and was wondering if any of you guys knew any body shops that would bring it back to the way it was. The guy wants to go get it done at one of those small body shops, however i think that's retarded. 
So if any of you guys know a good place that will get the job done please tell me. I live in Calabasas and anywhere good would be nice.
One more thing does my insurance go up if we brought the insurance in this?
(His license was suspended, however still chose to drive)
Thanks Everyone!
Here are some pictures!

You need to file a police report and get your insurance involved immediately. The repairs could easily run to 5k or more real quick. You have only the word of someone who was driving on a suspended that they will pay your damage. This person could easily dispute your version of the story and you would be in a tough place, your word against his. Perp could also just refuse to pay.

Your insurance will most likely require you to file a police report. Regardless, you need to go on record to protect yourself. File tomorrow.

You have to be doing something pretty dangerous to get your license suspended. He's a risk.

The guy got his license suspended for getting a couple speeding tickets. I actually know the guy he goes to the school next to mine.

I'll be the first to admit that I speed. It's still not safe. And if I'm speeding to the point where MY LICENSE GETS SUSPENDED, I would not expect anyone to feel any sorrow or pitty for me.
He broke the law, got caught, and he went against his punishment. It's a serious crime and he should be penalized. And to top it off, he hit a friggin car!!!
DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR THIS GUY. REPORT HIM.

Had my E55 painted on half the car since it was keyed. Clean car fax.
Had a old C280 get hit by an S500... clean car fax (minor wreck)...
car fax is for flooded cars, seriously damaged cars, and salvage title cars trying to re-surface as clean title cars.
