    I know I'm going against what I said about being done with this, buy rolling the front fenders professionally would hide the majority of that damage on the fronts.

      Hmm, I'll have to look into that. How much do rollers cost to rent? How much does it cost to have the fronts rolled?

        I'd figure $45-60 for both fronts done by someone in the Boise region with a roller, maybe a bit more, but for the two fronts, no more than $75.

          Alright. I'll post on IMS and see if anyone has a roller/would be willing to roll 'em for me.

            How bad is your paint already? I am 'Kyle!' on IMS (local to you).

                Rolling it back shouldn't be an issue, the problem is it will compound what has already cracked/flaked but it will definitely make it look a lot better then what it is now.

                  ^After it's rolled, do a pro touchup/wetsand, and it will hide a lot of that damage.

                  Make sure to shake the touchup well, use a toothpic/toothbrush to remove any small flakes in the chips, and then wait at least 3-5 days to progressively go through the grits when wetsanding, then be very gentle when polishing it after you've given it a total of 7-10 days to cure.

                    Which touchup would you recommend using?

                      I agree with the touch up technique but I am no pro at this and would not feel comfortable doing this on any car but my own. I would not want to fuck up your paint in other words ;)

                        Forgot to mention, this car has the cold weather package (heated seats, limited slip differential).

                          Not trying to low ball. But how did you get the price for your car?

                              Somewhat based off what the PO was selling for and the market price I see E34's sell for around my area.

                              I've seen a 525i with more miles and in rougher condition sell for $4k.

                              If I can get the stock wheels on with no issues, then I'm going to be dropping the price.

                              Not going to lie, I'm going to be losing money on this.

                                Thats how it goes. Id hate to think oh how much Id lose selling my E30
                                So I am boring money and would like this car. Id offer 3K with stock wheels and even the stock springs and shocks if you still have them?
