$600 to paint and install rear bumper and sides

RRGOO7 · 11-27-2007, 05:49 PM

I dropped my car off earlier at the usual body shop i use and they charged me 600 to paint install my rear and sides. The body shop does great work and i didnt have a problem paying that.

Any comments on the price they gave me?

What did you pay to do yours?

bartman32 · 11-27-2007, 06:20 PM

Sounds like a great deal to me. Mine charged almost that much for just sides.

NSM · 11-27-2007, 06:22 PM

Wow.. maybe its the area you live in but up here in the Boston/Providence area I would have gotten that done by one of the best shops around for about $350 maybe less.

I'm sure it looks amazing but the price just seems high to me.

I think $600 is a great deal. If you know them well, I think you can try to get $100 off again. I got my front and sides done paint and installed for $500. The job was perfect too.

RRGOO7 · 11-28-2007, 12:13 PM

i thought it was a good deal too

billspreston · 11-28-2007, 12:53 PM

Yeah I'd say $600 is a good deal for a quality job.

Pretty good deal

pdubbb1 · 11-28-2007, 02:22 PM

That price is about right. Here in NYC they charge about 250 for the bumper and about 125 per sideskirt.

hi there:

I am thinking to put on the aero package for me E92. I've checked the installation and painting price over with Herb Chambers, Boston, they quoted me 2000. I have read your post, and believe you have a good deal on installation and painting, do you mind to share what are the best shops that you referred earlier?

I would be more than appreciated!

thanks,

David

Try Dick's Auto Body in Somerville or Perfection Autobody in Waltham

DDL · 12-09-2007, 11:12 PM

i tried over dick's auto. they said there works are better than BMW dealership, thus they are charging somewhere same price range with BMW dealership, which is around 2000 for entire kit. I wonder if it really worths that much for the paint and installation??

BMW DIET · 12-09-2007, 11:58 PM

it sounds high but in the end if its a quality job and you have the cash. its ur win .
