So my 2008 e93 m3 was making some bad noises under throttle and the car reported a dsc malfunction for about a week. When my appointment day came, I took the car in and a day later recieved an estimate for repair. Keep in mind that I never crashed this car, but it is possible that it did hit a pothole like the SA suggested although I never noticed one. Seems like a lot of damage for a pothole...

Anyway, the email is below, and I am wondering if there are better ways to go about this repair. If I go through insurance, will my car have an accident on the title? Are there any bodyshops that can repair this at the same level of quality for significantly less? Also, what tires would you guys reccomend for the m3 (mainly a summer car) because I don't feel like spending $1850 on tires that aren't the best ones I could have on it. I don't care about the $850 idrive charge because the only part of it that is broken is the knob, so I won't be getting that fixed. My main issues are what to do about the suspension, and what tires you guys would reccomend instead of the ones the dealership will end up putting on. Any reputable or quality bodyshops in the NY/long island area would also be useful information.
