Wrapping the car
Hey guys so i wanted to start a thread and see what wraps people are doing on their cars and was contemplating it my self but not sure what color or style. i have a E90 and the paint is kinda gnarly and want to wrap it since i have a buddy who owns a shop i was just curious to see some other beamers that have been wrapped so give some feedback and post some pics of some cars that you have or have seen wrapped tell us what you think.

You should post a picture of your car. I've seen many people doing bold colors on cars that aren't modded enough to pull off the color. I really like matte pearl white though.

If you google "wrapped e90" the first page is literally all e90post/m3post results and even some youtube videos.

This is such a vague post lol
You can search wrapped vehicles in the photo for your best bet. Since it would be at a friends shop and you aren't doing it yourself, I would say go for it but color and style is totally a personal preference sort of deal. What are we working with and what look are you going for? |

I'd say go for it. Now also keep in mind that a good wrap also depends on your current paint condition. If you have a lot of paint chips or deep scratches, you will find bubbles at those flaws. May be a good idea to fill those chips/scratches to even out the surface for a better vinyl wrap application. |

@dgritti I suggest a blue. The matte blue wraps always look best if you want something that stands out that isn't cheesy too.

Material can cost between $500-1200 depends on what brand and color of vinyl you buy. Labor is anywhere between $1000-$3000. |

I wanted to wrap my car during the summer. Started with the roof, did it twice, came out great (my mechanic could not believe it was a DIY) but the m3 bumper proved too tricky.
If you have the time and patience, definitely try to do it yourself. It's fun and rewarding and possibly another source of income lol |
