Cheers folks,
Hope OP finds the correct answer. I would have thought the wrapping company would give him the correct answer. As you say googling throws a lot of wrapping companies which seem to quote some 2014 Statment form the DVLA. The whole car wraps now constituted a colour change.
I’m only considering a 182 clio with really bad paint. Hence not worth the agro of reshell or value in repaint.
Sounds like it’s just another pita dealing with insurance companies. I remember looking at doing an engine conversation in a 106 that had a rallye bodykit but was originally just a 1 litre.. the Insurance canned that project.
All the best with your sale and apologies for the intrusion.

One of the reasons ( main reason ) that wrapping companies will be vague about the legal requirements (other than ignorance) is that a colour change creates a marker on the vehicle history file which then shows up on all checks such as HPI etc
That isn’t an issue for the DVLA or Police obviously
all they require is that if a RED car is being driven down the road it shows on the PNC as a RED car
( it can have major implications in criminal enquiries .. such as murders or fail to stop fatal collisions where certain functions of the PNC can be utilised to trace all RED z4’s For instance .. which wouldn’t find an offending RED z4 if said RED z4 was showing as being SILVER)
Obviously for subsequent owners it creates a potential question mark over the vehicles history and can effect its value
Still not desperate to sell but hoping someone wants to love my beautiful car.interestedly i've recently come into the wrapping sector myself, ive completed and passed expert level certification programme at significant expense that even the bigger shops dont go through so can comfortably say particularly on this car is such an easy car to wrap, infact a JOY to wrap due to the flat panels without out curves, its almost like the perfect wrapping canvas . OP can you confirm what brand film was used on the wrap??
Now spring is (supposedly) around the corner this will hopefully move for you.
Heres a Bump.

thanks Beedup, wrap is Arlon True blood.
by the way I am leaving the country soon, so I'm eager to sell the car. I'd be happy to consider offers, but not any lower than the 12500£ that a BMW dealer was prepared to pay months ago (and that I'm going to contact again in the next few days).

*** Arlon*** Decent film .
Really sad to see but these are at rock bottom now. Not even worth selling at this price for many of us long term owners, in your case, i agree send it to bmw sod all the messing around, if this car was going to sell i think it would have by now and clearly you dont have the time to wait till summer, even worse winter seems to be never ending this year.
having seen how much the Z4M are being sold for in central Europe (starting from 29k, up to 50k euros and even more for lower mileage ones) I'm quite considering keeping it even if the steering wheel is on the wrong side. someone even did RHD to LHD but that seems crazy?
but also just got a couple of PM's here, so who knows.
BMW dealer in the end might have to wait.

I have owned 4 x Z4ms and each time I have paid less for them. I am also part of the motor trade and write about the industry when asked to.
Does i's lack of perceived value make me love mine any less? No.
But I do understand that the prices that most private sellers are asking are unrealistic and nothing is selling. Prices will continue to slide for the forseeable future. There is no reason for them to pick up. I will keep enjoying Z4M ownership and buy a "keeper" once prices have hit rock bottom.
This particular seller also comes across, as he does. Enough said.

I'm closing this toxic topic where apparently I was "coming across" so many bystanders just because I wasn't desperate enough to sell the car.
The situation dramatically changed in the last couple of days, so the sale now deserves a fresh start with updated info.
Thanks to all those that expressed solidarity and those that expressed true interest in the car! I appreciated that.
