BMW got back to me they said they can do it for 1000 taxes included. Which is good. I'm just peeved, no more original paint on the car now... A big paint job like this... If done correctly does it really show a color difference???

After my accident I couldn't find a single trace of overspray or paint difference and believe me I looked. The car looks factory perfect. Colour is Black Sapphire Metallic. The entire left side and both bumpers were redone. New parts included the rear bumper, drivers door & left front fender. Repainted damaged parts included rear door, rear wheel well & front bumper.
I know others have had some difficulties and a lot depends on the colour but it mostly depends on the body shop paint experts.
