I have a slightly hail damaged 2005 BMW 120i auto with low kilometres. Is it worth listing "as is" or paying for the repair first?

If the damage were only slight, as you suggest, I would think it would be better to have it repaired before you advertise it. It would certainly make it more attractive to a potential purchaser.
