As infinitekid2002 said, that is rather high. I'm getting my hood, bumper, and one fender REPLACED, plus the other fender repainted and the quote was about 3k in total including the parts and labor...

For just the paint/body work you should be around $500 for the front bumper, $300 for the hood depending if they need to fix the front from deep chips or not, and the fenders should be no more than $300 for the set if they're doing it all at once...

Looks good OP. My Crimson Red 128i would look great with a fresh respray! Time has really taken it's toll on the paint.

I have a 2008 Crimson Red 135i convertible... I bought it after it had been rebuilt. The place that did the work didn't blend the paint well in a couple places. I had a 18 wheeler have a blow out in front of me a couple weeks ago and hit a piece of tire debris. It fugged my front bumper up as well as my splash shield. During repair I decided to get the whole car resprayed as well. Paint was in pretty rough shape anyways. It's in the shop now and should be out in a few days. I'm pretty stoked to get it back.
