i wonder if they do hands on kind of stuff or like laser scanning to determine dimensions, etc.

Their main offices are Dallas and Vegas is my understanding that's why they need a vehicle there to scan.

ill pick up my car tomorrow and ride things out until the kit drops. front third is totally covered so good enough for now.

there is at least one 21 m5c at a vegas dealer from a post here. =/

hopefully it does not take too much longer and then i can get it finished + ceramic pro'ed

is your guy doing the whole thing by hand?

Yea I mentioned the Vegas car but it was already picked up by the customer, unfortunately.


No, he's using the 2020 templates and then just doing the front by hand. Hopefully it turns out well, he's been doing it forever so I trust him.

We'll see soon I hope! The wait it tough, but not worth the risk driving it before 😂

[MikeStammer]

so has your guy confirmed the 2020 kit works for everything except the front and back bumper? I knew those wouldn't work.

has he already started it?

if that's the case I'll pressure the installer here to use the 2020 kit for everything but front and back.

He said the trunk top and spoiler were off, but probably because we did the pro spoiler.

i can take some pics tomorrow, picking it up in the morning.

[MikeStammer]

pics would be great! especially around the badges, side vents, door handles, etc.

i was gonna pick up the car tomorrow but man, i really do not want to take a chance that the paint gets damaged and then i am kicking myself for not waiting a few more days.

thanks for doing that!

[MikeStammer]

got a hold of the owner. car will be fully wrapped and i can pick it up at noon! it remains to be seen if front bumper is still track wrap but i can live with that for now as long as rest of the paint is covered

Before I placed my order, I heavily considered An Audi RS6, and a E63s. Considering i'm leasing the M5 was the better bang for buck. Pleased to soon be part of this great community.

Any update on your build week? Curious to see what the build time is right now.

How long did it take to get a build week after the initial order day?

i had mine in a day or 2 from putting in a deposit. Dealer must have an allocation to give you the production number and/or build week

Yea all I got was the production number but no build week. I'm on status 111

[MikeStammer]

maybe you need to be in status 112 for the build week?

lots of detail here if you have not seen this:
