1M got dinged!
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com It's a classic ding about the size as a penny located @ the quarter panel. Flat area right before the rear fender arches. It's the usual ding with a crease. Not too deep and no paint damage or stress. I have No photos as of yet...as the car was out in rain unexpectedly a week ago while out @ a restaurant when the ding occurred. I noticed the ding the next morning. I'm sure PDR will take care of this. They have removed many dings from my BMW's and my brother's E30 M3...all which I stick around watch the PDR guy do his thing. The MAIN reason for this post...is HOW do we remove the rear interior trims without causing any damage to these panels. My dad is a is an old world upholsterer who does classic car interiors/interior restoration. He is a designer (seating) for a living. I'm not too worried about him undertaking the panel removal and I want to do it with him to prevent damage to "anything" interior panel related (Scratches/Scuffs anthing I can help prevent!). I did a search on E82 interior trim removal and unfortunately came up with nothing useful. Anyone have experience removing the panel behind the rear quarter panel?? Obviously the rear seats will have to come out first. I think.

Check this thread about saving totalled 1Ms, I remember there was a part about the rear interior there:
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...hlight=totaled I would also PM the thread starter and "1M-whisperer" Glassoman55. He should advise you well on a matter like that.

Thanks guys! I'll contact him.
-Hopefully PDR can get in there with all that stuff off! The ding is on the passenger side...on the flat panel after the rear wheel arch.

Not a great week for our 1Ms
Just over 1400miles. A fellow Bimmer driver tried to park next to me and scraped my baby Nice guy actually, I couldn't stop thanking him for leaving his details. There is still hope out there. I think I need to stop getting 1 series BMWs. My 125i got reversed into in its first week, my X1 was reversed into at a hospital. My 335i was never touched for 3 years.

I WAS thinking the same thing! Thanks for that! I'm still unsure about interior removal for the ding..but We gotta do what ever it takes to get rid of it.

Before we tackle the interior removal for the ding...First I gotta locate a place that does quality hail damage repair in Northeastern PA (Scranton Area)...
*If we could go the hail damage route...then it would be silly to be at risk for -sigh- possibly minor interior damage of some sort due to panel removal on the interior pieces/panels.

Sorry to see that! I don't know what's worse!! Pretty much anything getting damaged on a 1M is "worse"!
No idea how to get ahold of any "hail guys" in my area. This ding problem is an annoying problem! For a small ding on a relatively new car..you have to get PDR. This task looks tough to tackle though.
