Hi,

Just wondering how much it would cost to respray the rear driver side door in metallic sparkling graphite?

Also I'm thinking of selling my E90 and upgrading to a Porsche Cayman S (test drove it last week - awesome car!). How much do you think I could get for my E90 - its only 3months old??

do u have commitment issues?..lol. why respray the rear door? Sounds like a warranty issue.

If you are a true car lover you would keep the e90 and get the porsche. Now we're talking!!!

Dont repaint the door, just trade it in for the porsche and let the dealer deal with repaint...

Wow. That was a fast change.
I must admit, if I could, I would definitely go for the Porsche Cayman. Personally, the only BMW model that I would buy is the 3-series. All other, larger BMWs have price tags in close proximity to Porsche territory. For instance, why buy a 6-series when you can (soon) buy a base Porsche Cayman? Sure the 6-er will be a bit faster, but the Porsche has sharper looks, a mid-mounted engine, and a badge with even more snob value than the blue and white propeller.
Anyway, if you sell your car now, you will lose some money. But if you wait longer, you will lose even more money. So if you're sure about the Cayman, I suggest you sell the 3-er soon.

Not everyone wants a car that is in-your-face 24/7. I love the Cayman S but have to admit the 6 would be the better all round coupe, as well as my choice for a long trip. That is why the category Grand Tourer exists.
