So that's at inflated insurance rates, presumably with a new wing etc.etc..

How bad is the damage?

So would I. Even if the indicator doesn't work as it's a BMW.
My son's Pluriel has a mahoosive dent in the back but we've been driving it around for a couple of years or so now as it's perfectly safe, just looks battered if you see it from the back.

Why are you going through insurance for that? Surely you're just causing yourself hassle?

Take a payout and keep the car. £250 to fix that.

Ask for cash in lieu of repair

The normal procedure is you claim on yours & they reclaim it of t'other after arguing the blame. I bet they settle 50/50 though as it's easier for them without any witness statements.
