I actually talked to the BMW dealer and they said "sometimes we have to replace the doors" i was like ugh no.
I went to a body shop and i asked them to basically remove the surface rust, wire brush, etc and repaint. It cost me maybe $100-$150 per door, i got the rear hatch rust done at the same time.
I should take pics but it needs a touch up again this spring from all the salt from the winter.
