It’s possible, but only the front wheels rub and only in reverse. Both the M3 and M4 are identical from the windshield and fenders, forward.

Car has not be prepped it's headed straight to PPF & Tints first.

Can't figure out why my picture turns to the side.
Wow! You da man! Was one of the kids asking for YouTube Kids while the other attempted to pit feet on dashboard? …. Speaking from experience…
Appreciate your post! Keep on being a rock star! :: High Five::

Sorry, but not really, if anyone gets a 2025+ car without the Alcantara steering wheel, it’s genuinely a mistake.

Have you had an alcantara wheel before ? It’s very appealing to add for $500. Great value. But coming out of my last car with an alcanata m performance wheel, I didn’t even think about adding it to my g80. Too much maintenance and I didn’t want to always be mindful of keeping it clean vs a leather wheel. Much easier to maintain. But that’s just me

Different strokes…
But also, my car isn’t a daily and I wash my hands before getting in. I treat this car like its my child.

Then I’d probably do the same if I didn’t have my m3 as a daily. Looks so much better than the leather wheel

I took a week off to drive down to Palm Springs so ran through break in very quickly. And nice weather here, so sorry to hear that! Shifts are solid. Smooth in lowest setting, quick and noticeable in the highest

In sport plus all settings and s3 transmission the the first time I did some shifts I though something broke cause the jerk was so bad it was like I put the car in park and back to drive in an instant

Random stuff my G80 received today: proper phone mount.

A couple of mentions:
- i tried multiple types and styles until I found this one
- the magnet is strong and so is the 3M adhesive on the back of the support. Actually, because of the latter…
- do not stick it directly to the screen. I have a matte screen protector. I mounted it pretty close to central screen and it was a pain to remove it. Thank god for that screen protector. Remember: “measure 10 times, cut once”
- went for some rides (also hit a couple of potholes) and the phone did not fell

New steering wheel….SOOOO much better than stock and honestly makes me fall in love with the car again. I was getting bored a year and few months into it and this completely changed the driving feel/enjoyment.

Tint and Ceramic Coating. 2025 BMW M3 Comp xDrive Dravit Grey

First time getting tint and ceramic coating. I opted for CQuartz over GTechniq. They also put ceramic coating product on the windshield, rims, plastic pieces, car paint, etc.

I was really surprised on how much more the car shines now. I also got front PPF a couple months ago and they put the ceramic coating on top of that as well.

Not the best at photos but working on it lol. Overall they did a phenomal job looks brand new. You can really see the gold hue more on the Dravit Grey color.
