Anyone know any DIY or cheap way to fix a dent? It about a size of a quarter. The paint looks fine.

Where is it?? You could try to buy that system with the suction cups and the glue that's supposed to pop out dents. http://www.autodetail-school.com/auto-dent-puller.html I dont know how well it work or if it even does.

Check the Yellow Pages for Dent Doctor. They have franchises all over and they come to you. Cost is about $150 and if the paint is not chipped, you will not see the repair. Most BMW dealers also have this service available.
Good Luck.

You may have to buy a new hood. Since the hood is aluminum, most dents can't be removed. A repair man gave me the aluminum foil example, once you crease, bend, or fold aluminum foil it never goes back to being the same way. Same thing with the hood. I went to 4 bodyshops who all said the same thing.

Or maybe i should just leave it like that, the dent is visible only at certain angle, it was done on the BMW dealer ship on my last service and i didn't noticed it until i got home.
And i remember that lease return allow dent under certain dimension.
