Thanks for all of the info and advice so far, guys...
By the way, does anybody know if repairs ever show up on the actual title of the car, or can be found through anything other than Carfax? If so, do you know what the $ threshhold is for this? I know that there could be a salvage title, but say for example the car isn't totalled, and the repairs total up to $10k. Where does this actually show up?
Thanks!

I got the accident report. It pretty much says that the driver of the Mazda was pulling out of a driveway, turning left - looked right, pulled out, looked left, too late.
BMW swerved left to avoid the Mazda but still ended up making contact (hit the driver's side front corner, rather than broadsiding the driver's side doors).

Why do people keep telling me to "tell them to give me a xxx"? They're not going to GIVE ME a free car. My car wasn't paid off. Not to mention that I don't WANT an MS6...I'm sure that if it comes down to it, they will give me a really good deal on a new car...but they're not going to "give me" anything for free!

really? ok....i dont know what your down payment was or how much you paid off, but view it from this stand point....what was paid is automatically owed to you, rental fees for your temporary ride (better be a ******* car on the same level of the msp if not better), the time lost with all this paper work, and if you were to drive it off the lot and sell it that day.....it adds up....maybe not a free ms6, but definately a new msp......I would **** their ass on something like this, i have been screwed over by mazda so many times.....oh well...it is your car and choice, just a reminder that you do have your rights. Sue for neglegence on their part if they give you s***....It is not everyday you hear about a dealership wrecking a limited edition car.......no doubt in my mind you would get that new xxx car. A BMW no.....something in the 25 to 35 price range plus court cost (if you had a good lawyer) yes....

Yeah mine's done, But that dosnt look totalled.
Here is what I am expecting, and what I feel that I would truly deserve as long as things are resolved in a decent timeframe - (don't forget, the dealer is footing the bill for my rental right now, so I'm not in a huge hurry) -
1. If the car is totalled (crossing fingers!), the insurance company that is deemed responsible (probably Mazda's insurance, from what I read on the police report) would pay me for the value of the car prior to the accident (blue book/NADA/Edmunds/Private party value).
2. If the car isn't totalled, but I find the repair work to be extensive (which I probably will, from the looks of things), I will ask the dealer to buy the car back from me for private party retail value as a trade towards a new car, and also to give me a really good deal on a new car of my choice. This is on the basis that the resale value of my car will be diminished significantly.
Actually, I don't even care about the new car part, as long as they buy my MSP back from me at a solid private party value. That would leave me anywhere from $5 to $6k to work with on another new car of my choice, or even a used car.
3. If the damage is extensive, but the dealer won't accept responsibility to buy the car back from me at a reasonable price, that is when I would have to further consider involving an attorney.
