My Ride: 2008 528i, Space Grey, Nav, PDC, Premium, Sports, Grey Leather, Xenon, Cornering...
Couple of things, I was in a very minor accident which pushed me to get all of the paintwork done on the car i.e. any chip or scratch. That includes the two side mirrors, kidney grills (which I am getting it painted gloss black instead of it's normal matte look), rear bumper (completely redone), doors, you name it. Also, I am getting my AC Style wing remounted as I messed that up also. My brake lights are getting sprayed as well as my reflectors. So, all in all, I think it is going to look good. I did the grills in gloss because I am wrapping the roof in gloss black to match the sun-roof's (including the fin... or not, we will see how it turns out as I am doing it myself).
I went to she shop today and snapped some pics for you guys to see.
I will let you know how it all turns out.

Not trying to scare you, but I've had paint work done on my car's bumper (not my 5er) two separate times when I lived in Germany and I had problems later on with the paint both times. One of the shops was an authorized service center. Something about the chemicals used in the EU not bonding to the plastics/fiberglass properly. I also had similar problem with their adhesives (moldings wouldn't stick)
Just make sure you get some sort of written warranty. Good luck.

Hey man, how dare you speak modding to me at a time like this... my car looks like it is in pain lol. When I get down to Texas, I will hit you up. Trust me, it is still on the top of the list.
