I went to tackle it yesterday afternoon and had a hell of a time trying to get the 8mm bolt off so that I could remove the two gloss black pieces. Never got past it and gave up for the night. Didn't want to risk damaging anything.

*they'd previously told me to come with it installed, but when I took the car to them in person, they were very excited to see it and were able to fit me in immediately (same day) and said yes to whatever I wanted installed, vs. being scheduled out a month or two for just PPF. So my detailer's going to install: - front splitter - rear winglets - side markers - door sills Most of the above is "free" given disassembly already required (like door handle removal and reinstall, remove wing + reinstall, etc.). But they are taking me to town on the total cost (13K; painful but I have to commit given how 'invested' I am at this point). There's a place that does it cheaper (~$8K) but I don't know about the quality of PPF work at the other place unfortunately. The other place did window tint for me before on another car and left cut marks on my windshield that they then polished out. So yeah... I'm paying a substantial premium for quality and peace of mind. But I guess I'm getting some relief from the higher labor costs associated with even port installs on the extra parts.

Ouch, 2 weeks without the new car and $13k! It will be alert hit though in the end.

STUNNING!!! Personally, I love the wing, it's a coupe, it's a fast car.... what's wrong with it?!
Question though, the wing is only listed as being compatible with the M3. I'm seeing part #51192475051. Is there another part # for the M4 that I just can't find on the shopbmw site? Also, this is port installed right? I couldn't option anything on the exterior except the M Carbon Exterior Package, which now that I think of it, is kind of a waste to pay for the trunk lid that I will need to remove to get the Wing. EDIT: I just noticed you got the M Carbom Exterior Package too... so what do they do with the old trunk lid? Did they just give that to you so you could keep it in your garage? Could you "sell" it back to the dealer or get a discount on the wing? On that note, did you negotiate the price of the wing and side skirts?

I've attached the list to this post. Quote:
There is no negotiating anything. They wouldn't budge on the price and the parts that I didn't get were ones that I dropped as part of negotiating (totally one-sided negotiation though - like talking to a wall). I'd have got them at port if they dropped the price a little. Not a dollar. Instead I'm getting them installed for "free" now by my detailer as part of a full body PPF job. I've not had the car since the 6th, and now I only expect to see it on the 20th. And then it's getting tint, swapping tires, installing a dashcam and radar detector. And then, I'll be set until summer.

So I finally have the car back with me after (took 2.5 weeks; 6 days longer than expected):
- CF side grille installation - CF rear winglets installation - CF front splitter installation - CF door sill installation - Stek Dynoshield full body paint protection (including on all the parts above) - Stek Dynoflex windshield protection film - Ceramic coated wheels + brake calipers My detailer has some photos on Instagram (and yes, that's a Ferrari Roma being worked on in the background): Within a few hours of getting it, I dropped it off for window tint installation. Picked 3M Crystalline 50, and got it back today. What else: - Purchased the M Performance 963M wheel and tire set for summer when I saw it available for a much lower price than usual ($5578). - Purchased M Performance floor mats. Not installed yet. What's left: - Front and rear dash-cam installation (DIY) - Valentine V1 Gen 2 with blend mount installation (DIY) - Weather tech trunk mat installation with //M logo replacement (pending delivery) - Winter tires are at my tire installer but the earliest my schedule aligns with their openings is mid-January for installation

That's the highest quote I have seen on a non-exotic PPF. Quite the price to pay for PPF, but the results look great! The pop of the voodoo paint is stunning.
I think painted IND roundels and body colored reflectors would be great. The orange reflectors disrupt an otherwise cohesive front end |

Some shots in the snow today.
Color reproduction is not accurate as the photos were dark due to lack of sunlight and needed adjustment. I wasn't able to get to a state that reflects the color as well but the angles with the M Performance parts should help future buyers.

Your indoor shots look exactly like Voodoo but your outdoor shots look so much lighter. Great looking car either way.

The video right above that set is more accurate on color though. Snareman's video on YouTube offer much better representations overall of what it looks like in sunlight. There's not much sun where I am right now so I can't say I know what it looks like in bright sunlight yet.

To the best of my understanding, the differences start to pop up more in bright sunlight where Enzian take on hues of aquamarine? Though if I were to do a blind test on any of the photos of Enzian or Voodoo online, I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference in most cases.

But I look at your pictures and mine and damn its REALLY hard to tell them apart. Daylight I think Enzian leans a bit more to aquamarine hue like you stated and Voodoo plays to a more purplish-hue but its splitting hairs as in the photo below.

Contrary to what many people think, I LOVE the wing, and I agree - it does fill up the trunk area really well and makes the car look like a missile!
