Thanks dude! I had an ear-to-ear smile all the way to work this morning. It's an amazing car.

Congrats! Always love that color. I took delivery of mine last week as well. Similar to you she's in the shop for PPF, tint and ceramic. Officially pick her up next Friday.

bimmer568 · 09-23-2022, 01:45 PM

OP I noticed you have the M Performance Mats...they are awesome. Come with or you bought separate? My dealer wanted $500 for them so I wound up buying myself.

Congrats to you as well! Your 550 looks great.

Mine came with the M-Performance mats, trunk mat and BMW first aid kit. The M-Performance mats are very cool, but definitely not worth $500.

I see there's a 1988 e30 M3 parked next to you in one of your pics...Sweet!

what's the rough price for PPF, tint and ceramic these days? Like per product.

It's hard to say.

1) I have a buddy that owns his own shop and he gives me some sweet deals.
2) It depends on the package you go with; partial front end wrap or full car
3) Bronze, silver or gold CeramicPro package.

Rough guesses would be;

$1,500 - $2,500 for partial clear wrap (Kavaca self-healing clear wrap)
- Front bumper, hood, fenders, side mirrors

$1,200 - $2,500 for the CeramicPro Silver or Gold Package
- Complete paint correction plus 3-5 coats of 9H ceramic

$250 - $350 for tint (more if you go ceramic tint)

Just reading that made me smile!

I'm not usually a 5er guy, but the Alpine White and anniversary logos just set this car off! Beautiful!

djbrady2 · 09-24-2022, 08:07 AM

Very sexy!

Im also doing PPF on front and tints on mine. I can not decide if I want 20% or 35% tints though.

The guy at the shop is recommending 20%, I'm not sure I want to go that dark.

Which % tints are you going to do? Are you going to tint windsheild?

I always go 35%…Plus my interior is all black.

HerkHealer · 09-24-2022, 09:19 AM

Very nice! The 50th Logo looks really nice against white.

Congrats, beautiful car! Shadowline and 50th anniv logos go really well with the white. Really like the contrast with the black trunk lip spoiler. Enjoy the car!

Sweet ride! Did you include quarter panels and hood in the partial ppf?

Funny that you ask I just treated my buddy to a full tint on his 21 GFI. Have not thought about mine

SB_m550ix · 09-29-2022, 09:07 AM

Super nice. Excited about mine in CB with the anniversary logos...Kinda funny they don't do it on the steering wheel
