Here is my 2006 Z4M Coupe - After a small accident, I took the plunge and got an expert to repaint the car in the factory colour, replace window rubbers, replace door glass, renovate and lacquer headlights, etc.... then CSL 19" wheels (I kept the originals) and the whole thing ceramic coated.

As said above....WOW!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Thanks all..
I have to take it out - that balance between fun and 'death' is what makes the car special

Thoughts on me not putting the 'm' badges on after the paint job?
I figured if you know cars, you don't need a badge to tell you what it is? - thoughts?

Hi and welcome to the forum with your stunning MC.
As for debadging, why not? As you say those that know just know. And with BMW sticking M badges all over some pretty mediocre models these days they aren't that exclusive any more.

The calipers I have to put down to the best paintshop I have ever found.
After much research, everybody pointed me at Chris - CPS Bodyshop.

These guys are ex BMW, but the dedication and passion they put into my car was as if it was there own. My close friend (ex UK Bike chamption) restores vintage bikes and he had his magnifying glass out to inspect the flek in the paint and he declared it the best paint job he'd ever seen. I cannot recommend Chris and co highly enough.
Re Calipers - as you probably know they were basic metal, not painted. I had them blasted and powder coated, and then Chris matched the paint colour to the latest M blue. after much painting and lacquering, Chris decided he couldn't get the finish of the M logo and stripes how he wanted it, and so asked a vinyl specialist to provide vinyl in the exact colours, and then lacquered over them.
I then rebuilt with new seals, pistons, etc.
I cannot recommend highly enough these guys.

I have to say, it's good to talk with fellow Z4m lovers. Given that there are not many of these, we are a select bunch
