They ended up giving me a car for a month and sprayed the whole front end! I have no stone chips at all now and the paint is perfect. The fact it has a new engine doesn't bother me now but if I had known about it before I bought the car I can't say whether I would have bought it or not! Maybe I would of because it was the only one about with the spec I wanted (CIC, DCT etc) In fact my car is the first M3 with the later CIC, my chassis is PY38093 (build date 01/09/2008) PY38092 has the older CCC.

Silverstone can be quite a hard colour to match - especially on a bumper if its anything like as hard as on a white car. Mine is an early 2009 MY as well, registered late Sept 2008.
I've had mine 5.5 years and still loving it as much as day 1 (especially the DCT which is brilliant).
