Ok, so first of all I did do a search of the forums on "rim rash" and after three pages didn't see anything. So, after driving a Yukon Denali for five years, I guess I'm a little rusty on turn radius, tire location, etc.. yeah I know I'm getting old 
I curbed my 550 tonight and have some nasty rim rash on left front tire and want to know if this is something that I can get repaired? I attached a pic and just want to know if should start saving for a new rim, or if it can be worked out through filling, buffing, etc. Thanks in advance Big Time!

Hello Matt,
Yes, Your local BMW "Stealership", (LOL), usually has a third party company that comes around once a week that repairs rims, paint scatches, etc. Prices vary range from $100.00 to $150.00. If you can get to the 3rd party company employee (off the BMW Property), sometimes the thied party company will give you a btter price, i.e. since 2006 I got a 100.00 166 rim deep Ding job done for $50.00, (but Only time, but if the BMW dealer finds out, (and they did in my case, me ex-girlfriend that works at the local Atlanta GA BMW Dealer got mad at me and ran her mouth!!), anyway her boss frown on that and stopped it with the third party rim and BMW repair company when I tired to get another rim ding repaired for 50.00, and this time they quoted me $150.00, forcing me to get it repaired at another BMW dealer for $100.00)
Hope this helps!!
