Dent came back???

When i bought my used 335i it had a dent on that i got fixed right away. This was a little over 3 months ago but today a dent in the same place mysteriously appeared in the same spot. Is it possible for a dent to reappear or did someone hit and run?

When you had it fixed, was it one of the PDR types? If so, the metal was possibly fatigued and bent back into the ding with minimal pressure.

My guess is something struck the vehicle in the same spot. I liken it to an aluminum soda can, it gets dented, it gets popped out. It wouldn't just dent again say if it were sitting on a counter untouched....

Hmm I wonder if weather has anything to do with this.. cold temps could cause the bent area to fatigue and contract back into the ding? Just a guess
