Interested. Decent quality? Reach to edges fine? Do they stay TF put?

Yes so far haven’t moved. They use the Velcro fasteners and stick to the floor of the car:

I didn’t get rears because I don’t really have anyone in the back seat.

I took delivery yesterday, took it to wine country for lunch then replaced the valve caps with M logo and installed the LED door lights. Will do mishimotto plate and some other minor mods over the weekend.

Hey guys! Anyone PPF their front bumper on a black sapphire metallic? If so, did you have any issues? Mine is still at the detail shop and they have tried 3 times on the bumper and on the driver side they are having what they call silvering or lift lines. This is their first new M2 and I was hesitant, but I’m confident whatever happens this guy will make it right. Anyone else having this issue on their black M2? They said if they use pro bond they can likely fix the issue, but I don’t really want that on my paint.

Let me know if anyone can help. Thx.

All I know is my PPF guy, who does great work, said this was the hardest BMW bumper he's done to date.

I fish a lot and have found ski racks the best option for taking my surfcasting & bass fishing rods along on the roof of the car. Fly fishing rods are a lot more delicate, so for those I think the only real option are the tube holders.

Super hard bumper to get right, I did my bumper probably 4 times before it was acceptable.

Tons of seams in it and on the lighter cars they will show more flaws. I would agree no Pro Bond. PPF is going to be imperfect the biggest take away will be it's on and it's there to protect the paint.

Mine is Brooklyn Gray.

Definitely a couple of visible seams near the grills, but only visibile from up close and they don't bother me.

I hadn’t noticed it until yesterday after I ceramic coated it.. but yeah I definitely have some lifting on some corners but it’s minimal and only happened recently after 2/3 months

Is that the MP CF spoiler or aftermarket?

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I’m picking the car up tomorrow and he is giving me the option to take it home and let him know after a few days if I want to have it redone.

KCuv · 10-12-2023, 03:22 PM

my fella had zero issue with the front of the car, they even did the lower black grill part including the black posts in the center in front of the radiator.

Is the $107 price including both right and left front floor mats?

I wouldn’t have paid $107 for one. That would be Porsche prices lol. Yes it’s the front pair.

Me too. Where did you get them?
Btw, I do have a Range Rover to carry all my other shit. Just like the look and having the flexibility to be the fastest delivery car in the area! LOL!

I ordered straight from Thule. I ordered what you see below with a pack of their one key locks. I just got the locks from Amazon and used Amex points.

Maybe I should make a thread.

Newgenbimmer · 10-12-2023, 07:03 PM

PPF, Ceramic, Front Reflectors and Spacers done.

The guy who did mine said the front bumper can't be done in a single piece, not sure if he was bullshitting me or not. Seems like it would have to be able to be done in one piece for people who do full color change wraps, but maybe that's different.

Anyway, I have to go in for some touch ups soon because it's lifted in a couple places.

AZG87 · 10-14-2023, 02:36 PM

Threw on spacers to fill out the fender gaps until can get some light weight wheels with proper offsets on there. Went way too conservative at 12/12 on the HAS but it'll work for now.
