Find a quality shop around your area. You'll save, probably hundreds, by going anywhere other than the dealership.

BMW will charge the F out of you. . .
Ask around the canada forum, they should know of a quality shop

BMW does not do any repainting. Your dealer either have their own body shop (Not owned or regulated by BMW) or they subcontract it out to a independent body shop.

I would agree with that price tag from the dealership. A top notch independent shop would be around $300-500..depending on how much work they need to do before they can respray it.

Most urban dealers don't have a body shop. Take it yourself to a reputable body shop.
