So i went to the gym today in this horrible weather...i park believing who else will come in this weather parking close....and as i came out two cars were next to mine...there was this white marked ding on the driver door... I was pissed ready to kill whoever did it...unfortunately they were gone...I wanted to know if its possible for a body shop to get rid of dings?

Find a Ding wizard instead. body shops might be able to help you locate someone who specialize in getting rid of door dings.

I feel your pain, but I also come to a conclusion that dings and scratches are inevitable. Just think of it (them) as war scar(s) and you'll better....hehe. Btw, if the ding is near the crease (like mine was), Ding Wizard type applications can only recover the damage partially.

Was your BMW service centre able to recover the dent 100%? Mine is also near the crease line and I also took the car to BMW service center for a fix, but they could only recover the dent partially because they said it was near the crease line :'(
