Still has clean title and seller claims no structural damage.
I'm ready pick this up as long as the repair bill is about right for those cosmetic damages.

11g repair for a 3 year old bmw (back then in 2011) is almost nothing.
Doubt they could have sourced out used parts either for such a new car.
Both xenon headlights are over $1200+ EACH from the Stealer, bumper.. its not just the cover, they have to source out each individual pieces like foglights, kidney grills, lower bumper grill, rebar, absorber, trim pieces which prob adds up to couple g's (of course this depends on how bad the damage was, they could have saved and re-used some remaining parts)
oem bmw hood is retarded expensive, on top of that, paint, labor etc.
European stealership parts prices are getting more and more expensive as they are just getting more advanced.
Bet you anything, a private jobber could have fixed that car for 3g by sourcing out used oem parts online.
