so.. i had a little mishap tonight. Pics of the carnage inside.
Let's omit the details please, pics speak for themselves. Noone else was involved.
I'm so so so so mad at myself.

So, how much will this cost me?
Where should i take it? to a benz dealership, or find a great reputable private body shop?
So so so many questions....

No worries....looks very minor. Get a reputable bodyshop to give you a quote. Almost looks like you could buff it out yourself. Should be fine though, could have been worse!

Dealers use body shops!
dealers use reputable body shops but they mark up the price I think, secondly a hit like that is definately not a bad one, but the painting is gonna require you to blend into the door, so the right side bumper will get painted and the rest of it will get cleared, the entire fender and some of the door will have to get sprayed in order to blend it correctly. My two cents! Should cost no more then $1200.

thanks guys!
I feel much better.
Local guys, do you have any body shop recommendations?
I'm thinking about upgrading the bumper to an E63, but haven't really looked into everything that's involved.
Any links out there with all the parts needed for the swap and prices?
thanks.

To the OP, if you are in San Francisco Bay Area, then I'd suggest
Eurotech Collision in San Carlos.
Eurotech
You could also ask the service folks at Silicon Valley Auto Group to send it
out for repair. I don't know who their body shop affiliate is.

I've been a customer of both and been satisfied. Hope your insurance can
help.
