i'm inclined to disagree...
after owning 2 chevys, a mitsu, a pontiac, a ford, 2 subarus, and 10 BMW's... the BMW's are by far the best at resisting damage. the worst two were the 2008 colorado and the 2011 forester. the colorado was pitiful. leaning on the bed rails would deform the metal into the shape of the body part touching it that time. the forester was parked with a BMW next to it during a very minor hail storm (sleet storm is closer to the truth) and the forester took damage on every panel exceeding $1500 in repairs vs. the BMW's $ZERO damage.
sure there are going to be door dings and random dents that occur, but really... it could be a lot worse.
