Marina bay blue

Hello gents. So, coming out of my m4 and placing my order this week. I’m torn between two colors but mostly due to maintenance. There is a lot of rain and a fair amount of snow where I’ll be in Virginia. For anyone out there with mbb can you please chime in on how difficult this car truly is to maintain. I really appreciate it thank you. The other color I’m considering btw is Donington grey. Thanks once again.

if you have the time to care for it and wash it regularly (correctly) i'd go MBB, no question.

If you run a busier schedule, the grey will be easier to maintain.

No doubt. considering the grey because it is easier to maintain. I def don’t have time to wash it regularly correctly. Our we talking about one wash per week? I currently have BSM but in California, so slightly easier to maintain. I guess my better question is how easily does this car get dirty?

Get your MBB and have PPF applied .... you'll not regret it. Paint will always look pristine and maintenance is as easy as it gets.

It’s looking like this is the route I am going to take. No way around not getting ppf. This is a lease. But I seriously can’t stand marring

My car's a lease and I did it anyways .... coming from a BSM 15' M5 I can't tell you how much easier this car (19' SG M5C) is to maintain and, more importantly, how great it always looks with little effort.

Considering what I was paying to maintain the paint on the BSM M5, this route will be about the same price over the life of the lease.

MBB + PPF - Beautiful color w/ little maintenance. Hard to beat; post up some pix when you get the car.

I went with Xpel PPF and very happy.

I can't imagine choosing a color based on maintenance, go with the one that will give you a hard on every time you see it.
