My M is currently in the bodyshop for a full front end respray.
I've been speaking to the owner, I'm contemplating changing the colour from estoril blue to white.
Am I nuts ?
Will it impact on the cars value.
Got till Mon to make my mind up.
I've seen the one on the Leatherz website

The money you end up saving by only doing half the car, not stripping it out and fully respraying it, you will lose come sale time IMHO. You may increase your chances of selling it later if it is done correctly as white on a Z3 is rather rare and looks really attractive. Please don't do the half hearted approach.

.....................Whatever you decide try to get photos of before and after as many buyers run a mile if they suspect a car has had any paint - convincing themselves any paint to car means it may have been smashed to bits in past.
Only cost effective way to create a white one would be to source a salvage car needing full paint & priced to allow for same & any Insurance CAT Rating that may later devalue.
If mine it would stay blue.
