Ceramic does nothing for rock chip protection. It just adds a longer lasting gloss to the paint. Think of it as a more permanent (3+ years) version of wax. The PPF will serve as the chip/debris protection.

I get what they each do. But if you PPF the car, then why bother putting a ceramic coating on the car?

It's the same reason why you'd ceramic coat a non-PPF'd car. It makes it a lot more easier to maintain in terms of keeping clean. Especially bugs, soiled on dirt etc. wash away without much effort. The hydrophobic properties of the ceramic coat also causes water to repel the surface, thereby keeping it spotless after driving through rain

Pretty sad to see so many people on here hating on the guy's colour combination. I understand that you're allowed to have and state your opinion, but he literally wanted to show off his brand new custom car to an enthusiast community, and it just so happened that it made it to the front page. How exciting for him!
Let him have this moment, hater-free

Do you have 'Active Park Distance Control', 'Surround View w/ 3D View' and 'Gesture Control'?
I realized under Parking Assistance Package, there is only 'Parking Assistant Plus'. |

Blue BMWs are my favorites but this looks great - red brakes and all. A bit loud to daily drive to the office and pick up the kids at school but you will own the weekends and car shows in this rare and beautiful machine.
