bodywork on E30

[lam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Ken Lam)]

I got to my car this morning to find that someone had graciously hit my car
('87 325is) overnight. Of course being in LA the felon ommitted to leave any
name or number <GRRRRR!>. This car has near perfect factory paint. This was my
first BMW and it has never been hit in the 11 years and 170k miles that I had
the car . I am deeply saddened by this occurence <sigh>.  The damage to the
body was minimal, the whole drivers side has been scraped by the other car. The
metal has not been too terribly buckled. I was wondering if there are any
experts out there who can tell me how to get this fixed. I know that I can
bring the car to any shop and have them bondo it but this is not what I want. I
would, as much as possible, want to avoid having any type of body filler on the
car. Is there any way to have to bent metal straightened to near factory specs?
Anyone know the BEST body shop in the LA area? I love this car and want to keep
it as original as possible. TIA
