BMW Panel replacement

How Do I Replace a Panel on My BMW?

Panel replacement involves replacing certain panels on your BMW, due to them being damaged beyond repair. In other circumstances, panels can be replaced to change the look of your car or increase the performance of your car by fitting panels that are lighter in weight.

If you think you might need a panel replacement on your BMW, be sure to see a panel repair expert to get a second opinion. They’ll be able to quickly inform you of your options, and if your BMW does end up needing to have a panel replacement, they will also be able to easily source the appropriate one.


Replacing a panel is generally pretty straightforward but can vary depending on whether you get a second hand one or a brand new replacement.

If you get a secondhand one the same colour as your BMW, it should just be a simple process of removing the damaged panel and installing the replacement. If you get a brand new panel, it might not have paint on it at all, so you’ll need to get it painted and colour matched to the rest of your BMW. Depending on how old it is, your BMW most likely has slightly faded paint, so keep in mind that it’ll be extremely hard to exactly match the paint up.

The new panel will most likely be painted before it’s installed on your BMW, and then once it’s on some additional paint correction and paint matching will take place.

Any smash repair business will be able to help you out with a panel replacement. They can assess the damage and depending on your budget, will be able to suggest the most appropriate course of action to get your BMW looking as good as new.
