If you are like me and your M is not a garage queen, you are bound to get a dent. For a dent like this I paid $135USD. Worth every penny! Paintless and painless. BMW paint/metal is 'soft' according to my guy that does it here in CA and when done right it should not be noticeable when finished. iPhone pictures is all I have here at work. Good Luck!

Search dent doctor in toronto...they do exactly what Metak had done, repairing smal dings with out painting...I used em when I sent my last m G35 back to Nissan for end of lease. Worked perfect and pretty affordable ($75-100 per ding...I think they negotiate)

Check with the dealership they can probably recommend a metal stretching company. There used to be a company called Dent Wizard (they come to you). So you could try them.

I had a great experience with DentWizard about two years ago out here on the east coast when I wanted a couple of dents removed from my E46. The guy came to my house, worked on my car in my garage and did a fantastic job removing the dents. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call again.

There is a guy who does jobs out of the Fine Details location in Woodbridge. Call Bob at 905-265-7866. I've never dealt with the dent guy personally but Bob the owner of fine details says he's really good and cheap too!

What do you mean "on the line"?

I had a dent removed this morning and because it was located an inch back from the front edge of the door, it couldn't totally be removed. It's about 90%, but not 100% and I can't live with it
