Ceramic coating on the leather works amazing by not only making it easy to keep clean ( I have oyster Merino) but it also seals in the natural oils of the leather. I have 9000km after 10 months and no marks or stains wearing blue jeans and having a dog.. The product I used is from https://gyeonquartz.com/product/leather-shield/ hope that helps. |

Not worth the added cost when you lease for 3 years, turn in and repeat with a factory new TB paint job.

That part made me cringe slightly as well and has me worrying a bit about getting them on my build. I can't stand creaks and rattles so here is hoping it isn't a common occurrence.🤞🏻

NO COLOR is as nearly as bad ass.
It's a fact that you need to be prepared for what needs to be done from day 1.. But do it correctly, once ... and no worries for years. Step 1 Full Paint Correction Step 2 Full Film Step 3 Kamikaze Step 4.... laugh at all those that have Tanzanite without doing these steps. Looks completely different when done correctly. |

I daily drive a Lotus Exige and the human origami required to enter and exit thanks to muscle memory simply becomes a non event after a week and it becomes second nature while you have the benefits of the seat if you do some track work.

I've been back and forth on this car so many times, even watching this video at the beginning I was getting excited about maybe going M3/M4 again, but by the end I was no longer feeling it. It isn't so much the grill or transmission/lack of DCT, but 12 years of being in a variation of a 3 series (335i, 328i MSport, F80 M3), there isn't enough here to get me excited, maybe it is just general brand fatigue. I can see how this car could get people who are new to the brand excited. If I had skipped on the F80 I probably would have gone with this car.

the ultimate trick would be to swap one carbon bucket with another same color normal seat owner, so there would only be the ccb for the driver in the two cars ... WIN-WIN

It's possible that TB itself is more easily damaged than the black despite showing damage similarly. |

At the 7:52 mark you get to hear how the UK version of an S58 sounds. You really have to turn the volume up to hear it.

I learned how to correct paint on nothing but black cars my whole life- After you learn how to take care of black cars. All others are easy! Bottom line is don't go cheap on taking care of your paint!

A guy that helps promote BMW dealer sales has something good to say about a new product he helps sell. Surprise!
