Car door dent solution?

Recently my 6-month-old 2020 X3 M40i was hit by my roommate when she reversed and this is the result (see attachment)

The dealer suggests changing the passenger door which costs around 3k in total and the expected repair date was set to June which bothers me every time I looked at my car thinking she doesn't deserve this

I was wondering if there are any faster but also perfect solutions to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, that sucks. Just leave it to insurance and have it professionally repaired.

"the first cut (dent, scratch) is the deepest".......

At least it wasn't your fault and hopefully insurance will cover it

Is that passenger front rim scratched up from the impact, is that dirt or curb rash? Door does not look like its a candidate for paintless dent repair.

Yes, the rim was also scratched during the incident

Rim can probably be repaired pretty easily. Door will need replacement and front fender will need paint at the rocker panel area. Roomate could use a back up cam.
