Dominique is the owner and BMW CCA supporter. He has done a lot of work on chapter members and will give you a good price. He did some work on my '99 528i Sport and I was very happy with it.

Moreover, his price was half of what I was quoted by Vogely & tood, the shop BMW of Nashville recommends.

The shop is behind Dixie Motors on Murfresboro Road.

He has a small shop and he will "talk your ear off," but he is a good guy and will treat your car like it is his own.

For what you are going to get painted, he is perfect for it.

I would recommend you try a place called Stephens. It's on Main St. just North of the Coliseum in Nashville. They do amazing work there. Only work on higher end vehicles. I saw a sweet M6 in there getting a total work-over.
A friend had his M-B painted there and you couldn't tell it wasn't factory. Guarantee's the paint for life.
In the Porsche circles, it's on of the top places in town.
I plan to get paint there this Spring.

Stephens is regarded as one of the best places in Nashville, but is also known to be very very expensive.

Greg,
I got a quote there @ $3K for and entire job (paint matching-not changing color). After seeing their work and hearing about those crazy Californians and what they pay, I felt as if that were pretty reasonable.

Stephens is not worth a bumper being resprayed.

They will be higher than Vogely & Todd. I promise and the quality difference is arguable.

Another decent shop is Whaley's near Charlotte & White Bridge Road. They worked on my E36 convertible and did a good job. I had the front bumper repainted, rocker panels painted as well as had two (2) spoilers added - front & rear.

It is all about how much you want to spend.

<Sweet cab, rgol! I love the cabs...couldn't find a decent deal on an M# cab when I was looking. Settled on a 328iC. It'll do...>
