HELP!!! First car scratch and its deep

I was just backing into my garage and somehow ended up over my trucks sway bar which swung into action and severely scratched my car to the metal. What do you recommend I do to best remedy this? I know the touch up paint is black metallic 475, any other ideas?

Like a dealership? Download a pic? What'd you mean by that?

Can you post a pic of the scratch so we can evaluate it.

A good body shop can make the scratch disappear, chk with local BMW club section for good body shops - a clean professional looking shop.

Research a good body shop. May need to paint whole panel - really not a big deal.

that definitely looks like going to be a pain in the butt. if you want to be perfect, paint the whole door. if not, maybe there is a shop you can go to for painting a section of the door. looking at 300 for the section and 600+ for the door.
