Scratched up my M5 :(

[Edmguy11]

Pulling into my parking spot and not paying attention I scratched up my M5 quite bad.... I provide a pic below...

How much do you guys think this is going to run me ??

common spot for a repair. see how much can be polished out first.

1/4, and door will have to be painted.

i would charge someone about 650-800 depending on if it's dented (how bad) etc.

I know thats frustrating. Like Trevor says, get a good body/paint shop and it will be just fine. $750-$1k

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses.

Never banged up one of my sports cars before, the wife is gloating believe you me....

looks like bumper is scratched too? just touch that up, it's on the edge.. i wouldn't paint that for that small of damage.

Well I got two quotes from the local body shop all in the 2500-3000 range CDN .

The issue is to ensure the paint matches they will be repainting the door, 1/4 panel, etc.


So now I am faced with a decision to make, my issue is I never really liked the color of my car. If I had the option to re-paint I always wanted like a matte black or carbon fiber look.

I was told to look into just getting a vehicle wrap in that color.... any thoughts???

[TrevorM3]

a trained painter will be able to match that easily. it's low, so they need to keep the repair the same way... hard to explain. ugh


If you're going to wrap it you just have to make sure it isn't dented.. obviously.
