Is it a ding (metal deformation), or a paint chip - I can't tell from the picture!?

If a ding, then standard per-panel/per-ding rates will apply for PDR techs. On a steel fender, it will be $150-250 range (higher end for crease work).
If just a paint chip, then you can clean up and touch-up the area with BMW or 3rd party paint kits. It will NOT be perfect, but it will look better.

HTH,
