So ive got my car going into BMW bodyshop next week to have some paint work done as part of the 10 year paint and body work guarantee. There is a small amount of bubbling under the bonnet which im worried might get worse. You cant see it unless your under the bonnet but if BMW should sort it I thought I might as well.

They have agreed to treat and paint the underside of the bonnet.

I have today asked about the cost of getting the rest of the bonnet and front wings painted at the same time, purely for cosmetic reasons and I have been quoted £400+VAT (£480)

Would you pay for this much to have it done?
 
I probably would - as you'll always have comeback if it fails. What's their guarantee timeline for paintwork?
 
Personally no that seems expensive, I know I could get it a lot cheaper at an independent body shop, but for main dealer its not a bad price if you really want to use them
 
I did think its not exactly cheap. But for main dealer its not bad i guess. Ive not gone into the details about guarantee at this stage, it was more just an enquiry. Thing is the bonnet isnt actually that bad. There is a spot from a previous owner where they have touched it up

They are giving me a car to use for 4 days just to do the repairs under warranty. It likely to only take them 2 days but ill drop the car off the night before and not collect until the saturday.

Hopefully ill get a nice new I8 or M4/M5 for a few days :driving: Dreaming
 
I'm sure I read some where that the bonnets on Z's were made from aluminium, if so, it shouldn't be rusting ??.
That's not a bad price for the front end of the car to be painted an at dealer prices too :)
