When it comes to fixing things, few shops have better knowledge or can fix a BMW cheaper than a BMW shop. Dings and paint scratches are kind of an exception, since it is $500 to fix a panel, hood or bumper, minimum. But to toss in an I drive controller, a dealer pays $150 for the part and 10 minutes to install it. Easy peasy.

Good news for OP is it is not the V8...
