Correct. You can see the line where PPF ends. I have full front PPF (from bumper to mirrors).

Man, I can't really say I see it 😂. Looks great!

Just so people have a clear picture of how little even people at dealership understand our paint I had a service guy say they won't touch with car wash or any wash due to the "non-clear coat"

To be clear I was stressing to them to not wash the car at all. That was his response.

Im st this stage in the ppf process
Its 99% finished and 100% covered from paint to cf.
100% is just that

Was more of a comment about the "non-clear" detail they said which is untrue lol

But I'd rather wash the car myself and be responsible for it lol

No PPF. I just hand wash and use Dr Beasley plus foam cannon and multiple wash buckets with grit guards

Leadfoot Schier · 03-08-2022, 09:05 PM

I get mine in a few weeks hopefully. I was thinking of ppf on the front sections of the car, rockers and ceramic all over. I can't wait to get it but super nervous about driving it before it's protected.

tooshay · 03-11-2022, 01:18 AM

Got some new shoes on.

I don't have any pictures to show yet, but this thread convinced me to order Frozen Portimao blue. I placed my order mid-Feb and have an allocation pending build in May. Can't wait to pick it up and share with everyone!

It is stunning IMHO, surprised it's not more popular but guessing the potential maintenance is turning some ppl away. I saw it at the dealership & placed an order but allocations are hard to come by. Congrats and looking forward to your pics!

Leadfoot Schier · 05-05-2022, 08:50 PM

I finally got mine delivered.

Brodie82x · 05-18-2022, 09:13 PM

Got delivered last week. Tryin to get some miles on for break in

Leadfoot Schier · 05-22-2022, 06:57 PM

I installed the rear winglets. Before and after. They look so much better in person.

Yes it is. It's a $3,600 option.

static_void · 10-22-2022, 09:23 AM

Does anyone know the number of cars delivered with this paint? Any chance BMW NA would know or provide those details? I'm really curious to know how rare it is.
