Arghh..just got my first door ding today. Big ass suv was parked next to me and left a ding on my driver side door. What do you guys use to touch up your dings? Thanks

If no one is looking, I would have used my Knee to touch up the door on the big ass suv

Yah I was pretty pissed. Even though the SUV parked really close to me, (had to open my door carefully to squeeze in my car) can't be sure if he was the one that caused the ding cause I didn't see it happen.

Rule of thumb -

Bigg ass SUVs= door dings or ur mirror get hit
Any car cheaper than yours parked next to you =door dings and or scratches
Shopping malls /grocery stores/ parks/parking lots = door dings

so always park your car far away...and walk that extra bit to get where ever you want to get to, that will most probably take care of all your door ding problems....its sucks but that is the truth - no one else cars about your car but you!

This is a strategy I use. When there is a wall or a little island I always park next to it. This reduces the chances of scratches and dings by 50%.

Good tips all...might have to put them to use. Gonna try to order a paint chip kit from BMW next weekend while at the service clinic.
