Most BMW bodyshops are subcontracted so you never get the service or quality. Kick up a stink, get the cash and get it sorted elsewhere.

Well,

To be honest Benhams did a very good job this time. But they seem to take a long time.
They sprayed about 3 panels this time drivers door again, boot and back wing.

It looks like a new car and I have never seen a set of BBS so clean.

I think they must have taken the wheels off.

Overall quite pleased with the result in the end.
