I am taking delivery of my 2020 BMW M5 in BSM. It arrived in port yesterday and I'll probably get to pick it up week of Jan 6th after it gets some CF pieces installed at the port.
I know I am not going to keep my car after the lease, but I want to protect my car, keep it looking great and minimize cleaning and maintenance. I am located in NY and it's always difficult with bad weather and terrible roads.
I was considering 3 different options:
1. Full PPF
2. PPF Front and rear bumpers and Ceramic Coat the rest of the car
3. Ceramic Coat the entire car
Pricing I got from Phenominal Vinyl in Long Island for the 3 Options:
1. $5,500
2. $2,500
3. $1,500
This is my build:
2020 BMW M5
Black Sapphire Metallic
Full Black Merino Leather
Executive Package
Driving Assistance Plus Package
Bowers & Wilkins Sound System
Carbon Fiber Kidney Grills
Carbon Fiber Side Grills
Carbon Fiber Pro Rear Spoiler
Planned Mod List:
IND Painted Front Reflector Delete
IND Painted Rear Reflector Delete
GlossBlack Exhaust Tip change
Gloss Black M5 Trunk Logo Swap
Mode Carbon Carbon Fiber Trophy Rear Diffuser
Window Tint (thinking 30%) |
Option # 1 all day for max protection and ease of maintenance.
I've done Ceramic in the past and it does not offer the same level of protection and is temporary.
BSM is a brutal color to maintain so do yourself a favor and get PPF; I owned a BSM 15' F10 M5.
Did full PPF on my 19' SG M5C.
If you want to go all-out, have the paint corrected prior to having the PPF installed. |
I appreciate the info.
I see that you are taking about a car you owned - I'm leasing my car, so I just don't know if spending the money is worth it.
What did you pay for your full PPF?
