Lease End

SF_DCT · 01-16-2018, 10:28 PM

My M5 lease ends in October, and for the first time I have a couple dings that need repair. One on the rear bumper after getting rear ended, which should cost $500 according to the body shop estimate. The other guy's insurance should take care of it, so I'll definitely get it done. The other one is a dent on the right front wheel arch, about the size of a quarter. Anyone have an idea of what they'll charge when I turn the car in? I'm trying to figure out if I should get it fixed or not. I have max MSDs so I'm concerned they'll use it as a piggy bank. Any thoughts? Also all over the place on what to get next, but that's for another post.

Best to turn in your car at a dealer that has the car you want. Doesn’t have to be a bmw dealer. I️ turned in a cracked fender and bald tires on my 335xi lease. They didn’t give a sh1t because I️ was buying another car off of them.

If you're getting the front bumper repaired and the only thing left is the quarter size dent on the wheel arch I would not be too concerned. If you're concerned I would try a Paint less Dent Removal surface; it should be inexpensive. I've had a couple of dents fixed this way and it looks perfect.

Good Luck!

Find a good PDR guy and never lose his #. It's a true art.
