Angry First Dent! Not Pretty.

So...
I've had my BMW for over a year and have been extremely careful where I park, etc. I tend to park away from everyone!

I noticed a DENT () yesterday on my hood the size of a .50c piece.
Any clue where to go in Miami??

Braman BMW in Miami definitely has an internal Body Shop that works to BMW factory rules. It would be the best place to go.

I freaking unfortunately have to go there as well, some piece of f**king dogsh*t waste of oxygen backed out of the parking space next to me and put a big scrape on my rear bumper molding. I literally spend an eternity pulling into parking spaces because I park exactly tighly RIGHT NEXT to the curbstone, tires being no more than about 2-3 inches away, AND it was an angled parking space so the chances of someone hitting me were very slim, and yet they found a way

I was at Best Buy, and when I went back in to ask for their Security Cam footage, they said their store was too old and didn't have it and they themselves were complaining that they didn't have a parking lot camera. So, that will be $500 out of my pocket for some dogsh*t motherf**ker's fault.

I am going next week. If you see a white 135 vert there, it'll probably be mine.

Does anyone know how much the average dent repair for a quarter sized dent should run if it's on the roof of the car 3 inches above the windshield?

Yea I know it's a part of life. It just sucks that I really try and avoid those darn construction dump trucks that are flying on the freeway dumping little rocks as they go. I just figured I'de see if anyone went through a dent repair company and can shed some light on the situation.

If you have any luck feel free to share. My hood looks like shooting range. People cut you off and throw rocks as they go.

Its like they are using the Roundel as a target.
