I have a 325i convertible in beautiful condition. No rust, straight body, original paintwork. Its just got those usual stone chips, key scratches and couple small dings you expect on a '91.

On average how much would I expect to pay for an amazing respray and can you give me some suggestions of places in London you trust.

Sounds about right, but still, you get what you pay for. :wink:

A top notch re-spray doesnt always cost 4K plus. shop around,look at a companys previous work..evaluate the business then look for others. I got what i would call a top notch respray(and im very picky). i had engine bay sprayed loads of panels had colour chnaged where i replaced the boot bonnet etc etc. i had the lower sides stone chipped just like the factory finish the insides of my boot and bonnet sprayed, the inners of my front metal valance stone chipped(once rust was removed of course) i even had all the black bits sprayed black e.g shadow lining scuttle grills front grills etc etc. all plastic parts were sprayed after being prepared with adhesion promoter.

it really was a top notch job and i didnt even pay half of 4K
