Dent on my 435i
Hey everyone. I have a dent on my f32 (no idea where it came from but assuming it might be from a rock chip) however I was looking to see if anyone knows if this can be fixed with PDR. It's not that noticeable but at certain angles you can see it a bit more. My 435i is a lease so at the end of the day its not the end of the world but I'd like to see if anyone here with knowledge or experience with paintless dent removal can give me some insight. I live in Long Island so if anyone has a shop they could recommend, I'd love to hear about it and your experience with them. Thanks in advance!

Depends on whether they can get access to it. If so it would definitely come out with PDR. in order to take it out they typically need to get behind the dent and work it out.

It actually hard to find it. Don't worry about that and worry about that white sticker on the rear window that is more annoying.

Yes.. they usually drill a small hole on the vertical of the door jamb, use one of the specialized rods to push it back level then seal the hole with a small rubber plug. It lies flat, and looks like it was always there like any other plug around any other concealed maintenance opening ..

Take it to your local dealer that's what I did they will give you an estimate before they do anything to try and fix it. If they are located in an auto park they should have a dent guy there like regularly

Not too sure if you are still looking for a guy, My body shop guy does incredible work with PDR. I had 3 dents the size of quarters (from a Hail Storm) and he was able to remove all 3 as if they never happened. His prices are pretty reasonable too. Lmk if you want his info.

PDR techs are using a glue method for areas they can't reach or if you don't want a hole drilled. We had a dent on the C-pillar and it was "pulled" that way.
