BG is one of the colors that I'm really considering, but man I can't help think the color will make the car disappear in the fog over here in SF

spent 20 minutes at the dealer going back and forth between the black wheels and the orbit grey. They didn't have orbit grey wheels there so i was basing it on pictures iv seen. The black wheels just didn't wow me in person, i feel the details are lost most of the time as they are dark, unless there in direct sunlight. went with orbit grey, hope i don't hate it, tough decision.

I second this! Grey and blue interior is on paper exactly what I want too but I have no clue what it would look like in person.

Extended shadow line is free. It comes "standard" on the comp, or you can add it to the base for free. It gives the car the gloss back wing mirrors and rear diffuser (maybe something else as well, I forget). The $300 shadow line option creates a small black line around the headlights. Haven't actually seen it so have no idea how noticeable it even is

Here are some pics from when I picked up my car on official launch day. The front half of the car had PPF (XPEL) applied including the mirrors. The entire car to include the wheels and brake calipers has two coats of ceramic applied. Even though my car is in Germany it's a US SPEC vehicle so I can take it back to the states.

I got my first stone chip. Absolutely fuming. I have ppf on the full hood, this was front passenger door. Luckily with BGM it's not super noticeable, but really aggravating

That's a pretty bad chip as it looks down to the metal. Best touch that up as soon as you can.

Yeah, I'm looking at my options for it. Luckily it hardly ever rains in CA so I'm not worried about that, but don't want it to chip off more. Probably worst chip I've ever gotten, in a car with 600 miles on it

I learned the hard way too with my X3 M to put Xpel PPF on the hood, front bumper, side fenders, rocker panels & doors. Mine had less than 300 miles on it when I noticed small debris in the paint.

Didn't want to drill into my bumper or use 3M tape so I made a tow hook plate holder for my M3.

I had that exact "hole" in the paint on my new F90 M5 LCI, it was on the passenger side just above the window. A hole appeared not driven the car at that point, I had the dealership do it free of charge, I don't think it was a stone chip.

Anyone have this with the red interior yet? Going back and forth between BG or TR paint but the BG would work better with the red leather I think.
