Angry S. Florida - 550i assaulted!

Good morning to all.

I am seeking advise the most reputable BMW dealership or body shop in S. Florida.

Last night my front bumper was assaulted during an attempted robbery of my BMW badge and carbon fiber kidney grills.

I am in the West Pam Beach area but will go where needed ( <Miami ) to get the job done to OEM perfect spec. My rear bumper was repainted once already and the color came out mismatched and I was advised that was to be expected. I was not satisfied with that answer. My 550 is Alpine white.

My car has an HD dash cam that is motion and impact activated and although I did not catch them in the act, I believe it turned on in time to scare them away and leave my car damaged, but in tact.

I appreciate everyones help!

So sorry man. Lot petty thieving going on down there - my P car got keyed and they stole the headlights (P design: you could just pop them out) when I had it down there years ago.

This is slum behavior - maddening and in a state where they don't know who they are messing with, everyone is armed!

Alpine white is the EASIEST color to match and should look perfect ... whoever painted it is blind

I have heard complete opposite alpine white is hard to match there Is a lot of variations to the formula.

this is what i was told.. my mix apparently was lacking "black", resulting in a more "yellow" tint to my alpine.

Had my car professionally detailed today and the guy highly recommends "Doral Collision"...if interested, look them up. I'm gonna check them out for my next job. This detailer guy had some work done there and was very happy with the paint matching they did on his white dodge charger.
