well I know PDR guys try to make the metal expand and contract with heat and cold, I'm not sure its as easy as putting a piece of dry ice on the dent though

Some people have been able to do it that way with some success. I think both methods will only work on certain dents and be limited to what they can take out. Let us know how it works out.

Trued the hair dryer one....2 minutes at almost point blank...then upside down air can..nothing

maybe bmw bodies are too tough?
