Garage List
I kerbed one of my alloys within 30mins of leaving the dealership!!! Even more annoying since in the previous 3 years with my F11, I'd managed to acquire precisely zero damage.

I recently picked up a Z4 and that has some minor kerb damage that I'm getting sorted. I've found a local spray shop that do a basic re-spray (breaking of tyre bead and repair/respray of exterior face) for £55. A full tyre off, sand-blast and powder coat treatment inside and out is £85.

Don't bother, you'll only kerb it again sooner or later

Most likely lol but as its a brand new car it will grind me if I leave it. It's not massive damage but anything under £100 and I'll do it.

I put another kerb on one of my wheels last weekend, biggest one yet at about 8 inches!
I'll be giving the car back to the lease company in 16 months so I can't be bothered to fix them!

Has someone not told you not to rip up the pavement?

It was in a multi storey car park this time, trying to get close enough to take the ticket!

I paid £117.00 to have a Daimond Cut Alloy repaired a couple of months ago.. The car was off the road for four days, such is the demand for this repair that only a few shops can carry it out. My BMW dealer recommended them to me as they don't have the kit.

Thanks! Finding the time will be a hassle but after its done it'll make me be extra careful.

Dealers usually arrange a smart repair for around £50-60
