Here are pics right before I dropped off this morning. I'm bracing myself for the negative feedback on the dravit forum since I'm in the small minority that is willing to stealth ppf dravit grey. Will post some pics once it's done. |

I think I saw your car when I was there on Monday, it wasn’t in the lobby it was under the pillers where they line up the cars right when you exit the classroom. I would post more pics but all my pics are of the PCD, while the truck delivered the car & when I dropped it off I told my wife to take pictures but she dropped the ball lol. My detailer will post pics as he progresses through the job. He’s also going on vacation starting tomorrow until Tuesday. Hopefully I’ll have it before September 5th since that’s my birthday. He asked if I was in a rush to get it back & I told him no, just because I want him and his team to take there time and do a perfect job. Not to mention the ceramic coating on the wheels glass & interior plus smoking out the reflectors and tail lights he added that for free. |

Finally arrived at my dealer. I’ll post pics when I pick it up on Monday and immediately send it to PPF.

I'll probably change my name / account before I post pics
Picking it up Thursday. Talked to my SA this morning - fluffing me by telling me that everyone is blown away by the color and the interior. They're offering XPEL in house, but pricing is like 20% higher than the best shop in the area with one of the top installers in the nation. So I won't actually get to drive it until the 9th.

I would go to the best shop in your area you know they will do great quality work and basically come out with a perfect job. I wouldn’t trust any dealership with any detailing needs. If not mistaken they hire someone to do the job, which would make the 20% mark up makes sense. |

I turned on the ol' nunzo charm and got them approved. But seriously, it took a lot of strings to be pulled to get them, denied by BMW NA, approved by Germany.

Could be the finest tracwrap job ever to grace this earth
Did that to get it home and to the PPF shop on Tuesday. I cannot stand rock chips.

So a interesting new thing that came up is that the pre cuts for the PPF don’t have the cuts if you have the Carbon fiber exterior pack. My detailer had to 3d scan and redesign the kit. He had had a handful of G80/82 that he has done ppf on, I guess I’m the only one that had the carbon fiber exterior pack.
