Curb Rash

After many years of avoiding it in my prior cars (I miss you 360 cam), I got curb rash on my M240I It's pretty mild, but I have two options:
1. Wait til I put my winter tires on and get it fixed then, or
2. Take it to BMW and get it fixed this week which will take it about 4 days and put me down about $200
Any suggestions? Should I wait or do it asap

Sorry to hear that. Pics help tell the story. If the dealer quoted you $200 I can't imagine this is much damage.

Same thing happened to me today, I have the 893m wheels. I'm so pissed!

I would just go get it fixed now. It's going to eat you up every time you look at it if you wait.

Got it fixed a couple of days after posting, and got a flat tire two days later, it was a pretty unlucky week

To add to my bad luck, the same tire/wheel that got the curb rash and went flat, now has a tear in the sidewall...
