That was the neat part of the BMW Insurance Policy info that I got in the mail recently. Guaranteed OEM replacement parts. Didn't bother to see how much they wanted though because I'm happy with my insurance company. Think All State was the issuer.

Not on these cars, everything is replaced OEM. Unless you're with some shithole insurance company who might try and replace with refurb parts. However, a BMW Authorized repair center would not authorize anything but OEM new parts for M cars - certainly hope OP takes it to an authorized shop.
