Low speed route from Fort Worth to Carrollton

I'll be picking up my G80 at Autobahn BMW in Fort Worth, and I'll need to get it back to my garage in north Carrollton without exposing it to the sandblasting effect of DFW freeways. (PPF appointment isn't for a couple of weeks.)

Any suggestions for a route that avoids freeways and major (high speed) roads would be appreciated.

Sandblasting...LOL...
I have been driving my G80 for 9 months now, 121, Bush, 35...and front looks like the day I picked it up.

Take 377 --> 26 --> Belt line...

Or buy temporary PPF like cover for the front if you are so worried. This has been discussed here many many times.

^^^ This.

I used XPEL’s Tracwrap. I had about a 70 mile commute and it was perfect. (It won’t last much longer than a trip there though. lol)

Mine got tons of rock chips within the first week here :-(

I only have 3600 miles and it looks like 10k+. The chips on the bumper are black too, right through the paint.

I wonder if I got a covid paint job or something because my X3M wasn't near this bad.
