I went to Benchmark in Lynnwood and paid ~$9700 including tax for full XPEL PPF, three layers of ceramic, ceramic on the wheels, and 45% tint. The rental car was free and it took 8 days. They also installed my IND painted reflectors and repaired a few chips on the front bumper (in only 2500 miles!). I provided new badges for the trunk and the touch up paint.
XPEL was not my first choice of film (I wanted STek), but their work was very high quality. The most consistent advice I received was that the installer is more important than the film. I talked to Mike at Benchmark and he had a very high attention to detail and has been doing PPF for >10 years. I can say his work on my car is absolutely seamless, as it should be considering the price.
Oh and I got my M3 through Zak Elhabbassi too. He was great to deal with. Very communicative and helpful with the long wait! Deposit was placed in February 2022 and delivery was mid-March 2023.

I wish I went with Elhabassi, went through a headache with several others 😦
About PPF can you please share why you went with Benchmark over Metropolitan ? Seems 300~ is not a big deal but would love to learn and know more! (I’ve never done full body PPF and considering it for my new in production bmw m550)
