Damn, I'm so sorry to hear.

I recommend you check out RJ's Autobody in Pleasanton. Many members swear by them and I sure as hell woundn't hesitate to bring my car there if I lived in the area.

try to find a certified BMW repair center around you. They generally have superb paint work.

God, why do people continue to do this to other people?!

I swear, every time I park and leave my car I always say "God, please keep it and me safe, please dont let anyone mess with it." Then I let out a sigh, and continue to walk away, nervous as usual. This car has become a source of stress for me. Everyday at school, or in my work's parking structure, I wonder.....am I going to get keyed today?

I would NEVER key anyone's car, no matter how upset I was. Its just too big a fear for me and something I would never want to happen to me, so I dont do it to others. But fuck all those who do and I hope they burn in hell, or get run over by an X5 one day.

it'll prolly be cheaper to try to get it buffed out so i think you should try that first before getting it repainted.

i heard good things about the detailing place in sunnyvale called details plus. I've never gone there for a detailing service... only car wash. Not sure if that place is too far from where you're at though

If you live in SoCal, go to Spectrum Autobody in Irvine. One of Three Bmw certified places.

If the car is a source of stress I recommend you selling it and not be a car enthusiast. It's a hobby, it's for fun, not for stress.

Either that or just relax.

You can't control everything, that is what insurance is for.
