Wrap or change

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this or pros/cons to either.

    Imported an e92 from UK last year, wanted certain spec/extras leather sunroof Idrive etc and first choice was black.
    Found one and went ahead with it, very well looked after fbmwsh all the extras etc, but different colour, after consideration thought it would be a nice change.

    I occasionally now find myself thinking yeah its nice but black would have been nicer :p :rolleyes:

    Priced a wrap at 1100, or reckon I could sell and re-import at a loss/cost of 1000-1500.

    Is a wrap worthwhile and do they look as good as paint for the mostpart? Or better idea to sell and start over looking again? Would need to be same spec etc so could take some time to replace.

    Its the 6 cylinder engine so little to no chance of getting what I want here, and I have another car to use so wouldn't be stuck for transport.

    Either jump out as the best option?

    A wrap won't give you the same paint finish, and since you seem to be serious about the looks of the car the better option is a new car in the colour you want.

    Me, I'd motor on happy enough regardless of the colour.

    If it were me I'd leave it as it is as it sounds like a nice car. If the colour makes you really hate the car then I'd tend to just move it on. Personally I wouldn't bother with wrap as the original colour will still be visible to me in parts that someone else might not notice.
