Hey, paint happens....

If it needs paint, that is a body shop item. Some dealers have body shop facilities on premises- sometime part of the dealership but often times independent.

I would go with the best shop I could find...BMW paint is pretty crappy, so the concept of "i want the best so the dealer is best" can be flawed.

Good news is you cannot really see that panel, so likely no need to color match/blend. $800-1000 job by the time you are done.
