Dent in my car
I was backing up, a little too fast and into a tight spot, and my car rubbed against my sisters car, her car is completely fine, except a little scratch, but my 1er has a minor dent, and a few small scratches except they are driving me absolutely crazy, is there any way i can get rid of them or do i have to go to a body shop and pay a lot of cash to get it fixed, i have some pictures, it looks a lot worse in the picture than in real life cause its so close up, any ideas would be helpful, im going crazy right now

Hey had an incident in reverse too. Dont sweat it I26 u know sh*t happens. It a bitch but if $$ can fix something, you shouldnt let it bother you. (sorta keep telling myself that too)
...In regard to PDC, I have em and wish I didnt. You tend to rely on them bit too much. Also not to go off topic, but anyone else think that the car just jumps really fast when put in reverse? Seems when you put it in reverse and let off the gas even just a little the car really goes fast in reverse. Maybe a bit too fast! |

Ouch
What color is that? Looks like Space Gray or Sparkling Graphite, but I could be wrong.
I'm hoping paintless dent removal works for you. I've had great luck with that in the past. I had a small dent from a grocery cart on my 2007 Space Gray 328i - what a disaster. The body shop had to paint the entire driver's side of the car 3 times. Even after the 3rd attempt it was somewhat of a mess. And this was my local BMW dealer's body shop. |

A car opened a door into my car. I have a nasty scratch too. Go to your service depot and pick up a detailer kit. It includes a paint touchup and a clearcoat touch up.
I need to do that. Its been to cold to go outside and do it. But its warm(er) now.
