Echoing Speedy's comments - I've enjoyed your YT videos.
Exactly, i can't see myself doing this if i was a normal customer but with what i am trying to accomplish with my social media it is perfect!

I’m going to be doing similar with the livery from the m8gte and with an Itasha livery as well. Mine will be on purple.

Was the livery on this custom or did you buy the 300 m2 decals?

Great looking car! Really well done.
I'm intrigued with wraps
How long do they generally last on a daily driver.? Do they come off without damaging the car easily?
I don't think I would go as wild as yours, but I always loved the color of my titanium silver 335.
I think it would look nice and unique on the 240.

Wraps last about 5 years give or take. They can go through the wash and stuff. Generally they don't leave any damage coming off. You can use a heatgun or hairdryer to remove them easily, however, you shouldn't leave a wrapped car out in the hot direct sun for long for the same reason and things like fading, peeling, etc.

The side decals look very good. The hood and rear stripes ruin the look.

This looks absolutely insane!!! I'm hoping to do something similar to this when I get mine, and it's been impossible to find any G42's with this type of racing livery in alpine white. Do you think you're going to add the heritage badging to your car or keep the normal emblems?

Thanks! Appreciate it! Yea this was custom done from a wrap company. This sides are similar to the m performance decal you can order for the new M4. No plans for the heritage badges but i will be getting a 2023 M240i in thundernight near the end of the year so I will order that car with the badges.

Definitely a head turner. Wouldn't do it to a daily but I can see why you would do it. Only thing I don't really like is the red outline on the grille.

Hi, since you’ll be getting a 2023 in thundernight is that fair to assume you ha e the list of colors for next year and thundernight will still be available. Do you have any details on the other colors or changes beside the Idrive 8 big screen ?

Thanks
