41... 0 Notes On The Repair Technique Used In The Main Group 41

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Two different repair techniques are used in body repair.

These are welding and bonding/riveting.

If the repair instructions do not specify a repair technique, then welding must always  be used.

The bonding/riveting repair technique is always  described in detail in the repair instructions.

Quality standards must be met.
