G80 M3 Ceramic Coat + PPF Process 4K Video

Happy Sunday, Bimmerpost fam! Hope you all are enjoying the weekend. Here's another 4K video and pictures of my M3! If you ever wondered how the ceramic coat/PPF process looks like, this is for you! Thank you to @flashmobilenj for the awesome job as well as @markovka.edits killin' it with the video! Photos: @kaulpenny.

I highly recommend this for any newer car. Use discount code "G80_Soom" or "PhillyBimmerClub" for 20% off services at Flash Mobile! More content coming for the channel and the gram.

I love shiny paint and I was planning PPF + ceramic coat for my upcoming M3 but now I'm considering xpel stealth which is a totally different look! Decisions decisions...

Did you apply PPF to the headlights?

I was advised not to by the dealer on the new M3s. Wasn't really given a reason. Would like to know the science behind it if headlights are a no no.

Not on headlights. Just front bumper and full hood. Didn't ask about it though.

I have heard that the shop you get it done at is more important than the product used, so I have a local shop in the suburbs of Chicago that came highly recommended. They offer either a Modesta or Gtechniq for ceramic. It also offers PPF, either partial or full front. Or full car.

I'm kind of torn on what to get for an M550i I have coming in next week. I got Permaplate done at the dealership on my E60 and F01, as well as the PPF, but I was thinking of going the third party route this time.
