Usually you have to remove the door trim (just pry it off, held on by plastic clips) which will then expose a couple of screws/bolts, once you have those off, look at the grab handle, pull the cover off that, remove any bolts/screws, then the door panel should just come off, its held on by more plastic clips.
At least thats how it is for the e90 |

i had a guy come out and fix 3 dings for $125.
he knew how to get at the ones in the door. TOTALLY worth it. in fact, he would have done more if i had them, so its best to get a bunch done at once. i feel your pain. been there. its funny how i no longer will go to the mall, post office, target, trader joes etc for their tiny parking lots (and ignorant people) |

I feel your pain - I've got dings on both sides from the parking lot at work. Someone with an Interlagos Blue coupe parks there and he always takes two spaces to avoid this, but I figure one day he'll get keyed, which is worse...

GF is trying to sell her old car, 2001 Ford Focus in decent shape. I think the KBB value is at 2500 but willing to lower offers

It's amazing what the pros can do.
I had one on the door that was right where the inner beam goes, so he couldn't get in with a wand. He had a gismo that did it from the outside, by attaching a pulling button with hot glue. Took him a while but he got it to the point that I can't tell where it was. Cost me $80.

ah sucks, sorry to hear bro.
Parking is pretty spacey there too, def just has to be a jerk messing with your car. lame. Those dent removing things are scary, my friend tried on his maxima, made is 1 ding into 2 smaller dings, which looked worse. becareful. Try going to a pro shop and have them try to get them out, most have good repair tools.
