Standard procedure matey, insurance companies will do anything not to pay out!

If you have legal cover, start demanding payment or you will sue - that normally moves people along!

Its all going via the other parties insurance company at the moment. Mine has been informed but have closed it for now (can be reopened if need be). I assume they are contacting the witness and waiting for confirmation. But she came from lane 2 into lane 1, her front left hitting my rear right, to go off an exit we were passing (last minute job) rather than continue round the roundabout and getting in the correct lane next time round.

Well at the beginning of August the other parties insurance company finally admitted liability, even though I had a third party witness statement backing me up and her front left hit my rear right. They had offered me a 50/50 which I flat refused as I knew it was her fault.
Anyway middle of August their approver says yes to the work and its been done and I am very happy with the work. I got a courtesy car whilst mine was being repaired (Vauxhall Zafira 2ltr DTI) which wasnt all that bad I spose and they did a geometry check and checked the rear subframe for damage too. If you are in the midlands I would recommend them. Also the work came in at £200 under the original quote estimate.

I would choose the body shop that does the best work.  Just because  the  shop is BMW doesn't mean a thing, and choosing on that basis alone would be a mistake.

I know people who have taken their cars to main dealers and come back with mis-matched paint.  Sure the finish was excellent but the colour was out.
