had similar damage done by the dealer while it was in for regular maintenance. They had their body shop refinish the existing fender and bondo any "tears" and it looks pretty good - amazing what they can do these days. They re-did the entire front on BOTH sides of the vehicle - it looks brand new with no discoloration. I don't know the cost unfortunately since it was covered, but I just wanted to say that it can be repaired without replacement no problem. Hassel BMW body shop in Freeport, NY.
