WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 435i xDrive, 2016 BMW 435i, 2016 BMW 428i xDrive, 2016 BMW 428i, and 2015 BMW 435i xDrive. 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.
