the dealer said it would cost INR 18,000/- to fix, which is approximately USD 360 to repaint the 2 doors and the rear fender.

Is this a fair price?

Mercedes quoted the same price. However, Mercedes have their own paint shop/area and BMW gets it outsourced.

I can always blame bmw if the colour does not match. I will not be able to blame the Mercedes guys, though both use STANDOX.

Would anyone know the STANDOX code for the 2008 Space Grey E70?

Thanks in advance. Do let me know your views.

Points appreciated in advance.

That very good price compared to US$. In US it will cost at least $2500+. Not sure if they are painting the entire panels or just touch-up. In US they will paint entire panels.

In the US or even in Dubai, painting 2 doors will definitely be over $2500+.
