            Hey,

            I have a 335i coupe that essentially shares the same chassis as the M3. Do you think the paint thickness is consistent between individual cars of the same chassis and body? Will my 335i coupe essentially have similar paint thickness compared to this particular car? These cars are painted by the same robots in the production line.

              nope never , the clear coat may be softer or harder when comes to buff , and the numbers from what i saw so far are always different , and variable +/- 20 sometimes more. this bmw is brand new 09 and has thin spots and never been buffed. if the thickness is between 100-200 is normal /healthy. some cars like infinity the clear is soft and thin. if u plan any big job that can affect a lot of clear coat removal a paint gauge is a must in my opinion , or at least borrow one to get the readings , just to be safe.
              at least u will know to don`t go to aggressive in some places or when comes to remove scratches u do it safe.
              for info , i have another tread with my car , an audi where i took the readings before wetsand. http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35219
