Agreed. Especially when X3M/4M are available with 892m wheels which look exactly like 826m, 826 will quickly become overused and oversold

The silver wheels look really good with Isle of Man green. I would definitely pick those over the grey/black wheels etc.

Do you get low angle haze on your front windshield? I got the Suntek ceramic IR 70% on the front and has been getting a lot of low angle haze when the sun directly hits the front windshield, which gives a hazy/foggy look like they didn't peel off something or smudge from wiping with a dirty cloth all over appearance... very annoying. I was going to get the Xpel XR plus but they quoted me $1000, an the Suntek was also ceramic and was quoted $400, with only 10% less IR rejection than the Xpel. I started reading about the low angle haze, and apparently it's in all ceramic tints. I'm not sure whether the Xpel has less though.

Sup. I have had or have zero issues with the Xpel. I have ran the same film on the wife’s and my windshields for years.

I almost did that same combo except with the buckets but I kept with the orange. congrats, it's a beautiful car

Avaley · 09-09-2021, 07:24 PM

I saw this in person recently and its stunning. Its emerald but looks so different in various lighting.

Murilan · 09-10-2021, 01:44 AM

Took delivery on Wednesday - but haven’t driven the car home quite yet. PPF/Ceramic currently getting done while I patiently wait for the maiden voyage!

Wow really? When the sun directly shines on it, you don't get sort of a white reflection that diffusely covers the whole front windshield? I heard it's an issue with all ceramics, but some are worse than others. Perhaps Xpel XR Plus has it done better.

I know this has been debated over and over... but dang the 826m black wheel look better than the bicolor

When I took delivery of my car in person, and saw the wheels, I knew I made the right choice. It looks way meaner and aggressive, and pairs so well with the red calipers.

ATX_M3 · 09-15-2021, 04:43 PM

Anyone have a picture of G80 Comp in IOMG with the shadow line delete package - specifically of the back with exhaust tips, black diffuser, etc.?

I have this spec option on-order with the bi-color 825M wheels - this thread helped me make up my mind when I saw that paint / wheel combo - thanks to the few people that have posted!

I haven't seen too many Comps with the shadow line delete option checked - I'm coming from a while F80 CS with CF mirror caps and the CF rear spoiler / diffuser so I'm looking forward to the color matched components, especially in IOMG!

kayt69 · 09-15-2021, 11:04 PM

Got mine done with front end ppf and whole car ceramic coated, also look whom I found at the shop!

sunna · 09-16-2021, 02:00 PM

Love it! I just picked up my IOMG M4 on Tuesday, we're going to have a lot of frogmobiles driving around town haha.

What shop is this, I'm looking to get some PPF and tinting done in Austin?

You picked from Momentum too right through Mark?
I did the same, he is a great guy and dealership was cool as well.

Regarding PPF, I got it from Pristine Auto Detailing, they did a pretty good job with mine, I would prefer them going forward. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with them.

Yep! Such an easy and stress free process. Definitely going through him for my next car haha.

Okay thanks, I’ll check them out and let you know.

the public parks are open again here

. Yes, the foldable BMW bike does fit. I don't think that the cruise bike would - although I haven't tried yet...

Stunning combination. Thanks for sharing!

Better late than never to post my latest toy from Munich. Colorwise, I went with Silverstone over Isle of Man Green.

It has been three weeks now since I picked it up and the news is good: It is a worthy successor to the F87 M2 I had before. Whilst the new M3 is not as nimble as the M2 it goes a lot better 👍🏻

The first tour has now been to Sardinia, Italy and it is a joy to ride this beauty through twisted back roads.
