As an adult I shouldn’t be this excited about something yet I am. Hard work pays off and I have worked hard in my career. So people will never understand but the ones that do congrats to you to.

This will be my 9th BMW, my 5th M, and my second trip to the Performance Center, and I'm still crazy excited (I had been checking the website almost every day). I can't wait to see your pics.

Isn't that what our existence is about.... regardless of age, if it makes you happy, then you're living a good life! Enjoy.

anyone else been having issues with the back up camera dimming at night making its really hard to reverse at night? I know some people had this issue with white cars and put same tape over the bit of the camera that shows the rear bumper in order to eliminate the reflection from the bumper.

whats the verdict on stealth xpel + black sapphire metallic ?

go with $4500 Frozen dark grey paint or BSM + Steal XPEL

Both would look great. Stealth BSM would be darker than FDG. I've seen BMW frozen in person the texture is slightly different than xpel stealth. I have a full stealth wrap on my Tesla it's a satin sheen with a smooth finish. The frozen paint has a more raw satin look. The way it reflects light is slightly different. Both would be amazing to be honest. I've thought about doing both but currently waiting in line for a FDG build. Now I'm thinking of checking BSM and getting CCB for the bling/clean factor

Congrats! I doubt it you’ll get it in Jan. Lately it’s at least 4 months wait after Order it’s received with production number at time of order. Did you get that? If you are saying Jan you must have a production week Also?
