i need all your opinions *forgot to say please, please*
 

alright i got the quote today for getting my car fixed and it's gonna be 2500 to bring it back to normal-with new parts. To bring it the way i want it with the different aero kit is 4000. I really can't justify spending four grand on it but it looks so hot. Give me your honest opinions on what i should do with it. I don't even know if i want to keep the car and i know i'm not going to get any of this money back when i sell it. Or right now i'll sell it as is for 10,000 if anyone is intrested, it runs great and besides two doors and a fender all it needs is a good set of tires and you're set.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

if you like the aero kit and could afford it then get it.
if it was my car, i'd just fix it and make sure it's at a quality body shop. that car looks pimp, even stock. if you got the extra cash i'd just fix it, slap on some m3 wheels and lower it.

Re:i need all your opinions

Re:i need all your opinions
 

i had a little mishap in a parking lot christmas eve night...
i have the cash it's just a matter of how wise of a decision it is to drop 4 grand on it....
i really don't want to be hood rich, i mean i'm still young but buying a home is more important to me. Not to mention homes are only going up and the value of this car is only going down..
The guy doing the work is grade A...no doubt about that.
I already put a deposit on a set of wheels and pirelli p zero neros thats non refundable. I'm just so stuck on this it's annoying and i'mn trying to weigh out the best possible situation

Re:i need all your opinions
 

Well I don't know anything about BMW's, but is the option of finding a door, or two doors, or a fender off some bmw.com site out of the question? I mean shoot, I go to mx6.com all the time and there's people parting out 20-30 mx6's all the time. I don't know what model you have, or if it's rare, or whatever, but if it's something you think someone would be parting out online somewhere, I'd def. go that route. Even if they're not the same color. Paint them, have them installed and then spend your money on the kit you want.

That's my two cents. But if all that is totally out of the question, then I guess it's a matter of looking at how big of a loss is 4K. Is it something you can regain quickly compared to the amount of time when you think you'll be purchasing a house to the amount of time you think you'll keep your car. If you plan to sell it soon, I don't think I'd go with the kit (but would still fix it). But if you plan to keep it for a while still, then yea, I'd probably go for it.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

ill give u 8 grand cash for it tomorrow

Re:i need all your opinions
 

is insurance going to pay for any of it????

Re:i need all your opinions
 

have you tried the suction cup dent puller?

Re:i need all your opinions
 

hotnuts 10 and it's yours i'll drive it to your damn house if you want....to bring it back to stock is 2500
and from what i'v been told by 3 different shops silver is a bitch to match so unless i get doors that are within 2 or 3 months of the same build date there really isn't a point.....they would have to get painted anyway. the doors from bmw are only like 300 a piece it's the labor thats a pain in the ass....Although i found a set of used doors for 400.
If i'm gonna fix it theres no point in cutting corners because the rest of the car is gorgeous. I need to sleep on this i think, i'm stressing myself out.. :-\

Re:i need all your opinions
 

I can't go through insurance because technically i'm not even supposed to be driving the car it's under my moms name if it was under my name i would be paying more per year for insurance than i paid for the car.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

hahahha bro after it happened i pulled into a parking garage and i had rubbing compound in my trunk and some polish and i was rubbing like a little perverted kid going through puberty thinking it would go away....

Re:i need all your opinions
 

8 cash, firm, cash talks bullshit walks

Re:i need all your opinions
 

I'd go with the used doors. Put em on yourself, find a new fender, put it on yourself, and then get a paint job. If you don't know how to install those items, find a friend who does, or find someone online who does, read up and learn how. Will save you mad cash.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

it doesnt matter who's name the car is under, as long as you are an insured driver, you can put in a claim. All my cars have always been in my dads name and im down as the driver of his work van since its cheaper that way. I crashed my car when i was 17 and filed a claim no prob.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

i was kidding about the dentpuller. why doesn't your mom go to the mall, call the cops from her cell phone and write a police report as her being the driver. she could just say she left the car parked there and when she came out it was like that, crashed. then you can file for an insurance claim.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

dang 10 grand is kinda cheap for something like that no?

Re:i need all your opinions
 

aero kit? is there a turbo in that kit?

if not, pffft.

Re:i need all your opinions
 

10 grand is cheap i paid 13500(wholesale at the time)and i'm willing to take a 3500 loss rather than spend 4000 then i'm in the hole for 16000 and change from all the bullshit i dropped in it already. In reality if it was anyone else that wasn't on this forum id do it for 12,000 because book on this thing is still around 16ish. I'm gonna talk to my friend who would be doing the work...I enjoy driving the car it's in great shape and it'll run forever i'm just debating weather or not i'm ready to commit to it for a lot longer because if i dump the money into i'm gonna be damn sure i get my moneys worth....

Re:i need all your opinions *forgot to say please, please*
 

Pic of the aero kit?
I agree with the others, do the work yourself then get it painted. (This is a DIY board.) If you love the car an plan to keep it for years, spend the extra for the kit. You'll regret it if you don't and it will cost more later, since you can have it painted with the replacement parts.

Re:i need all your opinions *forgot to say please, please*
 

I would of course have a front plate but you get the idea...it's not like fiberglass either it's an oem piece. Also i'm not too sure i would get the black moldings sprayed to match.

Re:i need all your opinions *forgot to say please, please*
 

keep that ----. Man i wish i had a beautiful car like that. If you sold it for 10k what would u buy with the new moneyz? I think you would feel it was worth it to pay the 4k if u really like it in the end.

Re:i need all your opinions *forgot to say please, please*
 

Don't buy the kit. Fix it and either sell it or drive it. $4k is alot of money for a cosmetic enhancement. :-\
