Got it back from the paintshop today after having the front bumper resprayed.

Looks great. Do you mind me asking how much you paid? I have a bumper to get resprayed and I have no clue as to how much I might be expected to pay. It’ll be loose/off the car and stripped of grills etc. Like yours it’ll be a same colour spray, rather than a colour change.

Thanks. It was an insurance job. The nsf corner was badly scuffed up by two Nuns (True !) in a car park whilst my wife was visiting me in hospital back in mid June. They admitted liability so their insurance paid out. The estimate supplied to Allianz was for £1340.00 !! :o Anyway, it was a bumper off full respray. Not a stone-chip in site now and looks awesome. :thumbsup:

I payed just over 300, but I didn’t even take it off of the car for them. I think there was a fair amount of prep needed on mine as paint was peeling from a previous repair. I also had the 7 rivet holes filled and painted so I don’t have the number plate plinth.

Some garages quoted crazy money, so don’t be suprised if you have to shop around

I considered those wheels for my E86. Look really nice on your car. The E92 was the best looking BMW on the road for a long time.
 
Just drove the Zed to move boxes and tools over to our first house which we have just bought!

Garage and a workshop at the back for the zed of course. Yet to check if she will fit,
Although not sure I can afford the Zed and the renovation! :-|
 
Started to refurb my steering wheel controls :)

Treated the coupe to a new air filter. Not due but it's been so dry the old one was well dirty. Won't hurt even though service not due for another 7k or 7 month. Probably be the later.11 years living in Spain made me realise sometimes air filters need doing twice a year!

Oil change for mine. Halfords hate me now after my price match victory! The Z4 and my Audi can use the same oil, so I needed three 4 litre bottles. Halfords were £51 each, so £153 for three. I found an offer online (Opie Oils) that came out at £69 including free delivery. Can't turn your nose up at an £84 saving and the convenience of picking it all up from 10 miles away! 8)

I've used the Halfords price match a few times now. It has made Halfords a viable option again!

Road construction in front of the house has made it impossible to get the z4 out so It seemed like a good time for a garage renovation. Nice little home for it.

Pretty decent price I thought!
