Z4M door - same as Z4?

Post by dan yeates » Fri Jun 16, 2017 2:59 pm

Hi all,

I have a 2006 Z4M Roadster and some idiot has scraped the door in a car park. Is the door skin on the Z4M the same as the early Z4?

It's also scraped the side skirt, I think that's M specific, is that right?

Thanks,

Dan

They are the same (the door and the skirt) except the early car doors don't have the sound deadening a post facelift car has, but you can add some easily enough.
Is your existing door not repairable?

It might be repairable, it's quite dented though.

Have you checked the car park for cctv? You might be able to identify the low rent scumbag who was responsible :x

Guessing by the time you buy a door and side skirt and have them painted properly that's going to cost a fair chunk...not worth just getting it done on the the insurance?

The wings are fine, damage is just to the door and very slightly the skirt, but that might be repairable.

So the skirt is standard Z4? Looks like door skins are cheap enough so shouldn't be too expensive to sort.

My excess is £850!!! Won't be going though insurance!

A good body shop can get that back for you with little trouble. Steady yourself for a £500 bill though. :cry:

I'd be looking for a door in the same colour from a breaker - Much cheaper...

Brighton to so easy to collect and check it over.
