For the people who painted the plastic parts of the bumper and side fenders etc. How much did you spend to get it done. Plus does any one know where I can get it done in brooklyn, ny ? Plz help.

If you are looking for that look, switching them out for the aero kit is an option too. I've seen painted ones bubble and and the paint come off easily with a few bumps in the tight parking of ny

Amazing... they guys with the updated models with painted black parts are complaining that it is a "BMW Defect" since they are getting all pitted and nicked from road debris!

Hi guys. I have another question. How do you uploaded your picture to be near your name when you post something ? I've tried to upload it coupe times to my profile, but it says upload failed and pic size is 34K, which is twice less that they allowing ( 64K )

?????

I don't know if you're willing to drive to Maspeth, Queens... but definitely take your BMW to have anything done to Impressive Auto Center. 90% of the vehicles they work on are BMW's. They are true enthusiasts there and they are a sponsor for E46 fanatics. I recently switched to using them for about a year now and their work is fantastic!

I had them repaint my rear bumper and it came out flawless!

www.impressiveautocenter.com

Ask for John or Leo.
