Yes, they currently only have the front available. Hoping they'll make a set for the rear.

Besides dropping the car off tis morning for PPF, I finished reading the owners manual. I have ~20 features/functions to play around with, with which I'm not fully familiar (and that's after driving an X5 with iD7 for 3 years!).

I can be such a geek ...

Got the back of my door handles wrapped today. The front part is a cover and the back is a wrap. The keyhole cover is a carbon fiber wrap which matches perfectly with the real carbon. It has a more OEM look now with the clean install. I also had my detailer apply PPF to the carbon fiber cover for protection. Overall happy with the look and it contrasts nicely against the white.

Sorry I didn't scour this entire thread, but anyone that has gone with the M Performance Steering wheel? Feedback? Also if you added it as a port installed option, do you remember the build code?

Found the tow ring and shopping bag hook in the trunk, added 4 pages of widgets to the control display, and reactivated my digital key.

Mine goes in shortly for full PPF. Been keeping miles off it since we get a lot of gravel with our salt trucks in winter. Only has 250 miles on it and its driving me nuts waiting. My detailing place didn't have an opening until the new year.
Zero blemishes or chips.

After dropping it off Monday, the shop owner called early yesterday to reschedule the work. He's the only one there who didn't test positive for coronavirus upon returning from the holidays. So it goes back for PPF in 2 weeks. So same as you, drive as little as possible, cautiously, till then. (I have in hand Dr Colorchip touch-up paint, just in case.)

About 11k miles and I'm nothing the first but of wear on the buckets.

I'm going to adjust my entry procedure to mitigate further wear.

Installed the WeatherTech mat and swapped the logo out for a purpose built M logo (colors look off in the photo - they look fine in real life, but the middle color is wrong, or at least it's not the current gen M logo color. It was purple several decades back)

I'm experiencing the same thing with my installer. He said he is short on staff and the weather hasn't helped either. He had a employee that was with him forb9 years and called in one day and resigned. No one can keep employees anymore.

Please, please do not drive the car. My last car only got PPF 3 years into its life after experiencing a lot of stone chips. I filled in many of those spots well enough but you'd see the outlines show up lightly under PPF.

If you'd be bothered by that for the rest of the ownership of the car, don't drive it. Or be prepared to have it professionally fixed (sanded, painted and clear-coated) and then wait 30 days for paint cure before PPF.

I thought this was lowered at first glance. Can't wait for my BSM.
Completely torn on tint % thought for Silver stone carbon buckets

Looks great! Please post pics of the build process.

Yea I was also thinking going that route!

I know it took me a while to decide since I also love my brother interior but in the end the murdered out look won over me 😂

Just reading about it- The Mexico blue beast is on a boat… due to socal on 1/26/22.

These two books are great from what I've seen so far. Purchased on Amazon.

50th Anniversary of BMW M up top and open is "BMW M3 and M4: The complete history of these Ultimate Driving Machines"

We did take delivery of the wife's F97 ('22 LCI X3M Comp) a couple days ago though… only 40 ish miles of seat time thus far but that S58 is amazing! I can't wait to experience it in my G80 xDrive. It's at the detail shop for PPF and ceramic coating.

This is what I’m worried about. I am trying to be very careful getting in. Kind of ghetto but I put a towel over the parts that will wear the most when getting in.
