Both of the doors on my passenger's side of my X5 were starting to rust (as shown below in the "before" pictures). My detailer told me the paint meter readings didn't match the rest of the car, which means it had been repaired by the previous owner.
Since the previous body work wasn't done by BMW, it couldn't be repaired under the rust warranty. BMW of Towson referred me to Mark's Body Shop (http://www.marksbodyshop.net) for the repair.
Not only was there rust, but when you looked down the side of both doors, there was a little bit of flex/dimple marks above the rust, which they also fixed.
BEFORE:
Both pictures are of the front door. The rear door didn't have any rust popping through; just a lot of the bubbly stuff.

The results were amazing! She looks brand new again! I highly recommend Mark's Auto Body to anyone in the Baltimore area needing body work!
