Would love to see pics when you're done! You're doing what I went to the PPF installer to do, but came back with full standard PPF.

I’m heavily considering PB as my exterior color. Any regrets? I just can’t justify spending more money on an individual color. Also considering Skyscraper Grey, but then it’s just another grey / silver car. I live in Wisconsin where it’s pretty grey 1/3-1/2 of the year.

I'm with ya...not a fan of the greys and already have a white car so PB or BSM only choices...think I should do PB for something different but then probably need to get black interior as compared to fiona with BSM...if I ever get an allocation.

How long have you been waiting? I’ve decided to do full Tartufo no matter what.

On a few MSRP wait lists for a couple months now. Not holding breath. Lol. If drags on much longer will just get a Model 3 Performance and wait for LCI.

I switched from skyscraper to PB. Zero regrets. Stunning blue in person. Looks fantastic. It turns heads when I drive around.

This is the answer I needed. Now IOMG is also becoming an option..

Funny you say that. I did the same. I thought that Skyscraper Gray looked amazing but no dealer near me had a paint sample. I've two blue cars and they were some of my favorites. My only concern with PB is that it might be too common?

I don't think it's that common. I haven't seen it on anything except one M340 and the M3 is visually so different it didn't bother me. Skyscraper is offered on the 2 series gran coupe now. White and black are abundant. I didn't like the gold flake in Dravit. Oxide and IOMG are unique to M3 but I didn't like the champagne-ish color of oxide and simply preferred blue to green. That was my thought process anyway.

That’s my issue with it too. PB is probably a common blue for any BMW. Brooklyn Grey is also very common/popular it seems. That’s why I’m considering IOMG, although PB would be a no brainer otherwise, really.

My RS3 was Nardo Gray, which is what the Brooklyn Gray really is. It was bad enough to see it on a Kia Stinger but then I saw it on a either a Dodge or Chrysler mini-van and it totally ruined it for me. I know it's popular but I've already been there and done that.

How did you like your RS3? I saw BG in person and it’s nice but not for me.

I sold my RS3 because I got a good offer on it. I made money but looking back, I regret selling it. It was stupid fast but it also got kind of boring in the way a Tesla would. It ended up being almost sterile. Yes. It has the amazing exhaust note but after 2 years you don't notice it as much. Towards the end, what started to drive me nuts was the split second to downshift and the the turbo lag. I think I should of tuned it vs sold it but that's no longer an option. I ended up with a M2 Comp and the revs are so insanely quick that I never got used to it, in a GREAT way! I missed the AWD, which was why I sold my M2 Comp and am getting the M4CX. It should be the best of all worlds, for me.

It's easy to get spoiled and want more. I'm learning to temper myself as I'm becoming hopelessly picky when it comes to sports cars. It's a shame Audi did away with the puck style input, the "nugget" shifter and so much cheap plastic on the inside. If it's like the GTI, you don't even have a dial for the radio volume, which, sadly, it looks like BMW is going in a similar direction. I owned a first year ATS and I all I can say is that I wish I could force each one of these designers to driver an ATS for a week and they'd quickly come around.

I don't care how common this color is, it just looks so good on the G80

I think PB will prove to not be as common as everyone might think.
