New to me e89 10' and first mods.
So, I have bought a preowned z4 23 2010 one week ago and I have made some minor but I think really cool mods, specially for the interior.
This is my first BMW, I had always own audi and 1 porsche cayenne. So this is a big change for me. I didnīt see the car live, it was in another city and a friend of mine negotiate and sent it to me. I was expecting just to give a good detailing, including some glass coating to the paint since it is sapphire black. When I received the car, it has some minor scratches, dents, etc. So I decide to repaint the whole car to give it a flawless look. This is the only pictures I had when I was waiting for it to arrive: So I did: Whole car repaint Leather repaint (to give a new fresh look and to fix where the seat belt damage) And still in process: New Wheels 19" Staggered Replica Gloss Black trims and details (also in steering wheel) later I will post pictures finished With Gloss Black: Color applied: Clearcoat: Still waiting for mounting the new wheels, retrofit side markers, stubby antenna and white angel eyes. I will paint the grill kidney gloss black with the chrome frame. So what do you think about it? The calipers look awefull, but I don't know if they will look any better painting them. Any ideas? |

So the main problem with the paint was Front bumper scratched and it had holes for the plate screws, I will not mount the front plate so I filled up the holes. Rear bumper: scratches and cracked paint. Doors: Few dents and edges damaged, like if the previous owner never care about the car next to him. Hood: Deep swirls and scratches almost imposible to remove by polishing Trunk: repainted, but not a good job. So after checked all these defects, the only parts that had no damage were the fenders. So I decided to paint the whole car except for the roof top. BTW, I own a bodyshop and car detailing center so I know for sure it's going to be a perfectly executed job, taking care of every detail. |

Wow, talking about doing something for the full 100%...! You sure it wasn't easier to buy a new one, lol!
On a more serious note: you said you painted the leather. Never heard of that..?! |

Thank you! I was thinking in painting the black part of the wheel in silver to have a more dealership look. |

...it depends on the offset you choose for the rims.

Wow, what a difference. You do nice work. I've never seen someone tint the windshield before. You can't do that where I live, only the sides and back.
The new rims and paint job looks tight.
