That's a beauty. I saw a GC in person recently and was amazed how sleek they make such a big car look. It's that BMW magic you were speaking of I guess... I don't have any reason for a sedan though, even if the sedan is a coupe of sorts.

Its all good and thanks for the video too. The sun came out for a quick minute today so I was able to capture this where the rear of the car gets the shine and the front stays darker:

The only true meaningful difference is in the grip where the RWD with my Race Chip would squiggle here and there even on warmer tires while the AWD controls the power thru AWD grip. I do feel that in a rolling race, stock to stock, the RWD would pull on the AWD but not by much. Maybe a 1-2 mph max. From a dig the AWD still has some lag at times Ive felt in regards to throttle to engine response and Im comparing this to my M8 and my former AWD M5 where the response was immediate. It could be due to the tq curve which is steep up to 3k rpms and then goes flat. The Race Chip does help here. If I was to get a third G80- I would not really care if it was X or RWD; I would get it because of a different color I live where it rarely rains and when it does, its not torrential in nature so RWD is fine too.

Ceramic and ppf serve two different purposes.
In the most basic sense: Ceramic heightens the paint quality with shine and depth PPF protects the paint with layer of clear product.

Thank you ... I'm getting my new M3 in a few months ... I'm going back and forth between ceramic and ppf ... I was thinking just do the full ppf because I plan on keeping the car ... what do you think?

If you are keeping, you should do the ceramic and its processes first and then the ppf...
