I also vote to leave as-is. Silver with black accented comp wheels looks great

Broken record, but do NOT respray. It's a great color, but if you really wish to change it, just vinyl wrap it.
There are tons of reds to pick from. Inozetek has Ferrari Corsa red and blood red, which reminds me of Imola.

Either a satin PPF or a wrap. A quality paint job is going to cost ~$15k.
EDIT: Found a pic of a silverstone with satin PPF. Looks way better in my opinion, plus it'll be cheaper than a wrap |

The wrap is a good idea if you want that look but I've never seen it up close I had a silver stone 3 series the color is way better in person. Also, it just stayed new looking forever. My only hate on it is that it's a bit of a dated look, but that said it's less common now than any other recent time. All in I'd say it looks great and wouldn't bother with painting the car you'll end up unhappy and poorer. Just drive it for a while and see what you think |

No yours is not but if you did matte PPF it would look like it was and your paint would be protected

I was about to pull the trigger on an almost identical M4 in Houston but it was gone when I got back in town. BTW, the car looks good. Whatever you decide to do, don't do a respray!!!! Last edited by MathewM4; 12-14-2021 at 09:34 AM.. |

Silverstone hides scratches and swirls very well, but when they are gone; the paint POPS. I'd vote keep as is and perform a minor paint correction & ceramic coating to preserve and give it that candy coating gloss.
