A few more... really glad I jumped on this M when it popped up. Never in my life did I think I would own a black car.

LukeM15 · 02-15-2022, 05:42 AM

Mines is fully ceramic. No PPF (yes I’m wild) but I really
Don’t see any return upon selling the car. I usually keep them 3 years or so plus this M3 isn’t a daily for me.

Neither on mine. I just washed it down and hit it with a quick detailer for some gloss enhancement.

I will do a paint correction and ceramic coating on it soon, though. I just never got around to it last year.

I also didn't see the value in PPF. I have never owned a car more than 3-4 years and this is only a modest spec car off the lot (~78k msrp) so I just didn't think it was worth it. I live by the 10-ft rule... if the car looks good from 10 feet away I'm happy.

Stockholmarn · 02-16-2022, 01:07 PM

This time I did the ceramic treatmeant right away. Definitely helps keep the car clean for longer and makes all the dirt and road salt we get here easier to wash off.

Got an allocation and ordered a G82 BSM Fiona Red xDrive with CFP. It'll be my first "sports" car. Currently driving a 335i.

It's supposed to start building March 11-16. Not sure what "Build Week" it is. Anyone have a clue how long it will take if it starts March 11-16?

And mine too (except extended Fiona) although the only way I'll see it is if I take a trip to the plant, since they don't want to finish it and send it to me.

beachBmmr · 02-23-2022, 01:25 PM

Heres one with my 963m track wheels on.

I usually order. I just happened on this car in a lark and had it a week later. I would be climbing walls with all then issues, delays, and option eliminations…

Here have another picture.

If I could find one on a lot at sticker, I'd do it, waiting 3+ months in QC now.
