I had an accident with my new-to-me 2007 BMW 328xi and am devastated. Can someone recommend a good body shop in the Boston or metro-northwest area? I am willing to go anywhere–even CT since I have to get the car towed from Connecticut anyway  
  
 Thanks so much!

Talk to an insurance agent, either in Connecticut or in Boston. They tend to know which shops do good work and which to avoid. I have used this approach to get quality work done in towns I was not familiar with.
