I hit the side of a bmw and it has a lil dent and scratch does it cost more to fix cos its a bmw?

The owners of the bmw told me it would cost at least two grand to fix but if it's only one dent and one scratch how can it cost so much money? I just don't want to get screwed over so please any car experts out there help. I reversed into the side of the car and the damage is located above the petrol cap and the car colour is plain red not metalic.

The make of the car can have something to do with the cost of repairs.If it is going to need a new 1/4 panel,the BMW will cost more than an Escort.If it is going to be bumped and painted only,then it should cost the same as any other car.Get a few estimates so you don't get taken!!!

The make of the car has nothing to do with the price to fix the dent. It depends of the quality of job you want. The problem is usually they have to paint the whole piece, not just the dent. For example a dent on a door calls for painting the whole door, which is smaller than say the trunk lid. The piece you mention may be a good size. If they just paint around the dent it will be noticeable. It won't look good.
