Thanks. Don't suppose you want to sell just one?! Are you still based in Sutton Coldfield, as per your profile? Quite a long way from me, but I will have a think. Thanks.

Z4M door - same as Z4?
Yeah, it's horrible. I was horrified when I walked back to the car. I parked in the end space, so I wouldn't get a door ding, and then someone just drives into my car! Luckily it is just the door skin that's damaged, the rest of the door seems ok.mad4slalom wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 11:06 pm Cant believe some lowlife did that and left the scene! As for pdr ,... I dont think so ! No decent body shop would do anything to that other than a new skin, way more labour intensive to repair it and then you still have a door that is full of filler. Skin or s/h door, a bonus if you manage to find one in the right colour.good luck , hope you find the culprit.a reminder to be anal regarding defensive parking, a contentious issue I know but it saves this kind of hassle and frustration.
I've no idea what's involved in replacing the door skin, got to weigh up whether to buy the Monaco blue door on eBay, or replace my door skin and have it repainted.

Thanks. No I haven't seen this. Not sure whether to buy this, or whether to put a new door skin on and have it repainted.srhutch wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2017 8:53 pm Have you seen this?

Need to check the colour and might need a PDR man, but could be an option.
Brighton to so easy to collect and check it over.

That's a bugger. Would have been a no brainer. I would get a replacement doo and re-spray. Can't see the point of trying to re-skin, more likely to end up with corrosion that way I would think.dan yeates wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2017 9:08 amIt's not in Brighton, it's in Latvia!

Likewise, it takes a VERY skilled bodyshop to reskin a door PROPERLY...

Re-skinning just isn't cost effective for most bodyshops these days. Its usually cheaper, quicker and easier to buy a full door and your guaranteed a good finish. I dont even think BMW would supply a door skin so if you do go down this route you would have to find one after market, if such a thing even exists.

I'm going to visit the bodyshop I've used in the past tomorrow evening. Hopefully they're able to offer a good solution at a reasonable cost. The Monaco blue door might be an option, but at £300 it's quite a lot of money, especially if it might need painting.

Give Mizzi a ring at C&N BMW Breakers, sure he had a monaco blue one in there, and I reckon a door from him will be a damn sight cheaper than £300.. 01254 230033dan yeates wrote: ↑Wed Jun 21, 2017 4:02 pm I'm going to visit the bodyshop I've used in the past tomorrow evening.

Wouldn't surprise me tbh
Any wonder Z4M prices are skyrocketing when you get weirdo's who genuinely think a standard panel is specific to an ''M'' model?

Bit harsh, Ben? I think the poster was just a bit mixed up about the difference being the sound deadening in the doors of all face-lift models, and thought there might be a Z4M specific difference.
