Paintless Ding Removal

I have a 2011 F10 with a small ding about 7 inches above the Fuel Door. Can this be fixed with paint less ding removal since there is a rear air bag in the interior?

I don't see why not. Professional uses specialized tool to gently push the dented area back into the orig. shape.

I had a ding from a SUV door, it was right above the rear wheel fender area and the repair shop used a long metal tool (going thru the trunk area) and spent 30minutes + to massage the dented area back into shape. Result: Cannot even tell there was a dent there. Cost $80

Wouldn't the rear airbag be in the way?

I don't believe so.

But you can always go to one of those PDR shops and ask and you can also stop by your BMW dealer to confirm.

I had a golf ball sized crater above the passenger door when the car had 280 miles on it. It made me almost turn the car back in. Ding repair guy that my dealer uses had to drill behind the weatherstripping above door. When I went to pick up car,I thought ding was on the other side. Absolutely totlally invisible repair.

I just got a pin size ding that went down to the metal between my fuel door and rear door 2 days ago and I barely have thousand miles. I'm somewhat furious because i work my ass off only to have some jerk ding my car.. Hopefully the dealership can fix it.

Trunk dents

Does anyone know if these little dents can be easily and cheaply fixed? n There is a small one in the middle and one "push-in" near the 5.
No Idea how these happened. I was thinking I may be able to come in through the inside of the trunk but I am not sure if I can get to it or not.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Mike
