I think the pictures that I, and others, have posted with the stealth BSM are pretty accurate. It looks fantastic when it is installed by a competent shop (do your homework). I think that one of the cool things about BSM with stealth PPF is that you can still see the sapphire through the PPF. It's subtle, but it's there, and in the sunlight it's much more noticeable.

With that said, there is something about BSM with a good ceramic coating that is just amazing as well.

You really can't go wrong with either decision.

Thinking about the Alpha N hood, if you leave it CF, my brain can't put together a vision with stealth (on the BSM, not the hood) that seems right. But, that's just in my head, it might look fantastic in person. If you're going to paint the hood BSM, then the point is moot.

The hood is definitely getting painted. I’m going to keep the carbon fiber on the triangles. See image. Wondering if it will pop more with gloss or ghost finish.

I heard that pictures do not do the stealth justice. Is it really that nice over the gloss? Would you do stealth again?

The stealth PPF over BSM looks amazing, but so does BSM glossy.

I definitely agree. That's why it's so hard to choose LOL

Having previously had a BSM F82, I went with the Xpel Stealth because I was talking to the wife and told her I was thinking about it, and she said "why don't you try something different". Done!

My BSM F82 with Ceramic Pro Gold the day it was done, and my G82 in a similar frame and lighting:

Was an easier choice for me as I was setting my car up for work as a tracking car (it’s incredible!). It did look amazing the day I picked it up, it went to the wrap place day two.

My wife’s G01 X3 is BSM and it looks great too.

Guys you are killing me! I am literally staring at the car right now thinking how much I love the shine on the BSM, but damn, that stealth is so sexy. I have three weeks to decide. I’m getting an alpha n hood painted, as soon as that’s done, I will have to decide.

Those beautiful pictures are making me lean in your direction.

Yeah, thanks everyone for confusing me even more. I ordered mine in BSM and now cant decide if I’ll keep it gloss or go stealth.

finally got out this weekend and got a few shots of the car, a lot more content still to come but below some examples of a shoot in the autumn here in the UK. Had the car for around 5 months now and made some changes but on a journey with it right now to hopefully make some additional changes.

Seeing this, I am soooo glad i went for BSM. She is a beauty!!!

Hello everyone,
Recently traded in my 2022 BMW M340i in Portimao Blue for a 2024 Black Sapphire M3 Competition. This car is on another level, I love it! Currently in Germany, but follow my build and shenanigan's across Europe and track days to the Nurburgring. More to come as we get through winter and into the summer months!

Let me know what y'all think, thanks!

New hood just arrived and off to the paint shop. Painting most of it black sapphire metallic and leaving the triangles carbon fiber. Any suggestion?

I picked up my M3 last week and its currently getting PPFed and tinted. I noticed that the radar module is slighly crooked, compare to how it should be. Does it look odd for you guys aswell?

Should not be crooked, something is off

Upgraded from a 2023 G87 to a 2024 M4C w/ X-Drive, fully optioned out! In love with everything about this car, and man what a time to be in the market with an M4 with the massive discounts to be had. Only paying about $150 more a month on my lease on a car that has a $30k higher MSRP than the M2. X-Drive is miles better than RWD for my needs and purposes. Loving this thing so far.

Hey guys,

Love all the BSM cars! My M4 base in frozen black is sitting at port.

I don’t love the chrome badge, at least on the back….

Did any of you with base M3/4 trade chrome badges for black?

Does anyone have pictures of the black badge or outlined red black badge (from CS) from IND or similar, on base M3/M4 in a black car or at least dark color car?

Wondering if it blends too much/gets washed out without the competition word under it.

Damn man, you only had the G87 M2 for a few months.

Hell yea man! Congrats!! My progression went M340i > M2 > M4 over the last 3 years lol. I impulsively got the M2 and realized that was a huge mistake given how poorly they lease and I wasn’t aware of the M4 discounts at the time.
