Best way to fix this?

SpecC · 01-10-2007, 07:10 AM

it's just really zoomed in really far it isn't THAT big
I thought it was because i had hit a pole first but my dad said that had been there for a while even though i had not noticed(how?!)? He doesn't want to go through the insurance things to fix it at a dealership, and warranty won't cover it so what do you suggest to be the best way to repair that? Or am I stuck with going to an autoshop?

If it doesnt bother you, just touch it up to prevent any rust ect.

dealer would be able to smooth and repaint. No need to use insurance if you don't want to. And it does look like you hit a rusty pole.

Thanks for the help. I'm gonna call a BMW dealership tomorrow or email to see how much it would be and to see how I would go about doing this.
the damage was done from one of those trailer things on the back of another car. My dad had told me that an hour after lecturing me about driving because I had made a small dent on the rear bumper haha.
