it gets tricky. but ive read that cars have been damaged. like a wheel hit a curb and the rim was damaged and replaced but everything was 100% fine. they had to disclose it under the law in the states and the guy asked if he should buy it. it was here on the forum too. so dealerships do disclose things. what they disclose? iono, but it happens.

If the damage exceeds 3% of the cars value then the VPC has to report it to the Dealer. If the dealer has scruples they will notify you. To be on the safe side you should ask the dealer if the VPC reported any damage.

![]() ![]() back on topic, i might have missed it, but i didnt pick up on the color of your interior. so i cant imagine how your interior will look like. i honestly think that TS is beautiful and you have nothing to worry about, esp if you got black leather. when i was in the market for an m3, i wanted TS because it broke up the black dungeon interior. cf is nice, but its just waaaaay too much black for me. its personal taste, but i think TS a looker imho. |

I just traded my Titanium Shadow trim for carbon trim which cost me $550. It's not that big of a deal but it will probably take a month or two of work. At worst you're looking at a bill for $950, PM me if you're looking for some help with getting a swap going, I have a trick that will make it cheaper or easier.
The upgrade is $500 from BMW so paying a $50-$450 surcharge for your mistake is no big deal.

Paint shop? Find a good paint supply store and have them mix the paint, put it in a spray can (most can do this), and paint it in your garage. I've done this before and it looks great.

the carbon leather looks really great with the FR interior so I can see why the OP is having second thoughts... but custom painted AW trim would definitely look sick!

If you don't like it, you can get an aftermarket panel installed, so don't sweat it! Good luck, and looking forward to seeing it! ![]() |

besides, when you custom order a car, you are kind of taking a stab in the dark because you dont know how it will come out looking in the end. no matter how much research you do, nothing beats seeing it in person. and because of that, i wouldnt fault anyone for walking away.
