-Full car PPF 10mm Xpel.
-Full car ceramic pro on top of ppf and wheels/brake pads. Ceramic coated the full interior.
-20% Ceramic tint all around and 50% windshield.
-Carbon Fiber center console piece.
-Michelin Pilot Sports 4 All Season (stock size).

In the future I plan on converting the DRL to the CS style which are the yellow ones. I am also going to be replacing the front side reflectors with painted ones from IND.

Now trying to get close to 1200 miles so I can get the break in service done and then finally able to drive the car like I stole it

MBB is my favorite color, that would have been my first choice!
With that said a little bit of love (keeping the car clean) makes every car look amazing!

My calipers are black, wish I had the blue calipers, maybe at some point I will have them painted.

This is my first ever real M car and it's so awesome! Everytime I step in this car it feels such and honor and privilege!

SO good. Considering changing my order from MBB to Sapphire black because of posts like this. Sapphire is menacing and classy at the same time. Enjoy it!

Beautiful. My BSM should be here in about a month. If you don't mind me asking how mush was the full PPF? I'm going to do at least the front end. Also, I think you meant 10mil, not 10mm. That would be a thick PPF 😂

The full PPF cost me about $6700 which also includes ceramic pro for exterior and interior and also included wheels and brake pads. It's a huge investment but totally worth it if you are keeping the car for a while…which I intend to do

Looks great! Funny you say Dark Knight cuz my wife and I have always said the original X6s looked like the "Tumbler" Batmobile. Since the X4 is the little brother, I wanted to go with a Batmobile personalized plate. Unfortunately, most of the good ideas were taken and somehow TUMBLR didnt translate. HA! Anyway, here is my murdered X4. All of the chrome bits have been replaced with gloss black except the grille emblem. I still trying to figure that one out. Also, I heavily considered going with a full Xpel stealth wrap but was quoted $10K and since I get bored with cars after 6 months, I couldnt even remotely justify it.

Wow 10k for full car ppf? My god, that is some crazy pricing!
Most places here go for 6-7k max.
I love the X4, very aggressive looking car. Only reason I didn't consider it is mainly because the sloping roof at the back so for tall people the back wouldn't be a good idea. I love murdered cars

My next mod is to have the front side reflectors replaced with painted ones.

Btw I noticed you have a sun protector for your front windshield, definitely look into a 70 or 60% windshield tint. It won't be visible and it will keep the car much cooler. Also it will protect the leather from ever getting damaged due to the sunlight. Best thing ever!

Thanks. My windshield is actually Tibet's with heat rejection film. Sun shade just helps for these HOT Florida summers

Got my dark reflectors from r33_RGSport today, will be installing it tomorrow when I get my river gun!

Same quality as IND but cheaper price! I will probably ceramic coat it myself before install.

Attached the reflectors today, super easy install, took 10 mins.

I did my own ceramic coating since I have a bottle.

The paint was perfectly matched.
