Had email back today, estimate cost to do new wings paint etc from my friendly bmw body shop. Suppose we all have to make a living..

Thought I’d look for a bit more trouble front bumper off , inner wings etc, in the hunt for more dreaded tinworm , but all looks good upfront

I had front end painted 3 ish years back wasn't too happy with the out come as they didn't blend into doors so I had wings re painted by an approved BMW shop in pershore wings into doors plus had small trim painted and cost me £500.. the finish was spot on.

Couple of easy places to check for the diy home check, under the cill covers. Behind the front plastic inner wing , rear battery box with bumper off, all known places the e46 m”s suffer from tinworm , happily all ok 👍 places that all rarely get looked at. If your car is a keeper..

Wings painted and clear coated,hopefully blended into top sections of wings to door, will buffer down see how they turn out , but look really good for cans £50,
