My M-Tech kit is being shipped to my body shop this week. I am only installing the front & side skirts. Quote for paint & install: $500. I trust this guy because he repainted a Jeep I had. His only requirement was that I purchase the bumper pads to ensure a better fit, like Garry from BMW of Newport recommends.

As long as the body shop talks about BMW Paint Code you should be good, as mine did.

Take it to a body shop and have them paint the parts, for say maybe $500-600 and do the install yourself.....its pretty easy. If you must have someone else do the install just take to a body shop.

Install and paint matching are a simple process that there's no need to get a dealership involved, as we all know they RAPE you. Also just an FYI, many dealerships dont have their own body repair shops, they usually sub out the work to a 3rd party and you wind up paying the mark up.

Yeah...What he siad!

It's easy to install!
