Just picked up the G80 from getting PPF, ceramic, and tint on it. AZ Auto Aesthetics did an amazing job and I'm even more blown away by this color.

I tried to keep these photos as true as possible with very little editing at all. No filters applied but some minor adjustments to cropping, highlights, whites, and blacks.

Edit: Removed photos from this post and added to the very first post to help keep them all in one location.

Just keeps looking better every time you post new pics. I can only imagine the smile on your face every time you walk up to it. Haha.

Any plans for front lip?

Thanks! I honestly cannot even find all the right words to describe how happy I am with this color. Best color I have ever owned in all my years.

I have the M performance CF lip sitting here waiting to be installed. I just didn't get to it prior to dropping it off at AZ Auto this past week. Hopefully will get it on there soon enough.

What area of town are you in? I think a photo shoot with SPY and Twilight Purple would be amazing.

After seeing yours and a few others I am going to get mine PPF'd. With the individual paint I know it would kill me to see a stone chip. I am talking to a couple of places and I think I found the place I'm going to schedule with.
Calling them Monday to set it up.

I am not a purple car fan but damn! Your car is gorgeous!

My videography skills are terrible but I wanted to put together a short little walk-around video of the G80 to help highlight how the color changes as you move around it.

Oh for sure, that would look amazing! I'm in the east valley, right around the ASU Polytechnic campus. Im still on a waitlist at North Scottsdale playing the all too familiar allocation waiting game. I'm hoping if I obsess enough, I'll get one sooner… hasn't worked out that way so far, but maybe someday

I didn't do full PPF but definitely went for the high impact areas and am now a bit more relieved to be driving it knowing that I have some level of protection against all the rocks/road debris on AZ roads. Definitely recommend it for anyone with an individual color since ours will be a bit more difficult to touch up.

The purple isn't for everyone but I'm absolutely in love so far. It's far exceeded my expectations, especially now after getting polished and ceramic coated.

Ah, ok. I was just out that way for the PPF, ceramic, and tint! Hopefully you can get an allocation soon and you'll have it by April/May next year before it gets too hot.

Yes, love adding the small details like the painted roundels or the painted center caps on the wheels.

Updated the original post with a few additional photos that I took initially after delivery as well as added the post PPF, ceramic, and tint photos to the very first post so that it all flowed together and was easy to view in one spot.

I hope it stays fairly limited as well but it seems like the color has really picked up steam this generation. Starting to see a few more on FB and Insta as well as having people comment that they too have the color on order.

In general though, even if it hit 200 cars in this color it would still be pretty limited world wide.

The contradiction for me is how great this color looks with bucket CF seats. I was engaged to keep the comfort seats for my 2nd G80 order but it is so striking with the CF seats. First world problems....

The CF seats just add such a special touch to the interior and it puts a smile on my face each time I open up the car door or see them through the windows walking up to it.

I'll fully admit that as a daily driver and with how much I am in and out of the car for school drop-offs/pick-ups, etc. they are a pain in the ass but once you are in them they are absolutely perfect. I personally don't mind the inconvenience of having to pay a bit more attention to how I get in or out of the seats because of how they look and how comfortable they when in them. I wouldn't hesitate to order them again.

You can update the profile photo via the MyBMW app. It will then sync to the car.

Yes, love adding the small details like the painted roundels or the painted center caps on the wheels.


i'm assuming you can't tell a difference from where you didn't PPF vs where you did? thinking of doing the same. i see no reason to PPF an entire car really.
