Guys, I have recently had three dents (2 on hood 1 on trucklid)from acorns falling from trees. They all have happened at my childrens' school. I have been picking them up for 5 years with all kinds of different cars. Acorns have hit the others but no dents. Does anyone have any input about the ease in which this car dents. I cannot believe that the car has dented so easily I'm looking at $300 do pull these out. Who knows how many more are to come. I am po'd ,she only has 3800 miles. Talk about bad luck.. timing....whatever. Argggg

Is that $300 from a paintless dent removing service? Have you tried parking elsewhere? I think that the extra walk would be worthwhile if it'd save you from getting more dents.

This is why no pine trees around my house. Palm trees only (with no falling objects)

This happened to me on my previous car as well. Right in front of me. Since then I refuse to park under a tree. Doesn't matter what type of three it is... Way too much risk. Bird, sap, and etc.

I think I have a few slight dents in my trunk. It takes the perfect light to see them. Lots of new cars use aluminum on hoods and trunks. I bet the problem isn't unique to the M5.
