It’s so good. My original choice was SMB, but my SO proposed GTP. U know how the saying goes! She’s always right lol

She's finally here, after 13 months!! This is right off the truck so still filthy. Will post new pics after PPF/ceramic/tints or maybe after the dealer details it. I didn't want them to touch it, but I need it clean so I can inspect for damage before accepting the car.

Thanks so much. I went to a BMW meet last week and kept saying to myself "maybe I should have bought this colour or that colour" but now that I've seen it in person, it's perfect!

I'm going with very light tints on the side windows - 50; and a 35 for the rear window to prevent headlight glare and to give the rear side windows the effect of having a 40 - 45 tint instead of 50. I wanted 45 on the sides but my shop doesn't carry them and in a side by side comparison (sample display) the difference is barely noticeable.

That kyalami orange looks sick! I opted for Silverstone but now I have to maintain it so maybe not the best choice haha.

Full PPF, tints and ceramic done!

Anyone know where we can get touch up paint for an individual color? I haven’t asked the dealer but am guessing it’ll have to be custom. Got a rock chip on my front door 😕

Dr. Colorchip is 10 times better than the dealer crap. And please put some PPF on that nice colored M3. It's only a matter of time before you get another rock chip.

Does this color pop in the sun or is it pretty flat?

Grigio Telesto is a pearl, its not flat. In the sun more of the mud tone of the color comes through, but it has purple/blue ceramic crystals in it that give it a cool effect. This is not like flat like Nardo Grey, this is a Lamborghini pearlescent paint which is very unique.

Thank you. I’ve added a decent amount of CF to my build - including the lip and side skirts etc. Do you feel it gives enough contrast to justify that?
