Hi folks. I have a leased 2010 135 convertible. Came out of a friends house and found about an 18 inch line on the rear quarter. Paint is broken and metal is slightly gouged. Question is, does anyone know if BMW has a set formula for lease end for this type of damage. This way I can determine whether to have it fixed now or to let them do it when I turn it in. Do not have an estimate yet

Sorry about that! Can't understand why people do that...

If it went to the metal, you will get rust as soon as winter comes back and it is exposed to road salt. If you want to push that repair to BMW, at least get some touch-up paint and cover the bare metal areas.

It's not bare metal but appears to be a white undercoating

it will cost way less to fix it now, than it will if you wait.
