$3K-$4K is pretty normal for where I live (SF Bay Area). Usually it's $2K+ for the full front PPF and $1K+ for ceramic.

Is your PPF done? Curious how it turned out, especially on the interior piano black trim.

I picked it up today after getting full frontal ppf and it looks great. I have to take it back next week for them to check on it and hopefully get the interior done. He was going to do it but he wasn’t able to get the cuts for the interior yet. He said they should be available in another week or two so he didn’t want to mess around and cut them himself.

Any progress with the PPF for the interior? Has anyone else tried getting PPF installed yet for the interior trim?

I actually just had it installed today when I got a check up on the front. It looks like it should. When I grab the door to close it I can feel the edge of it. We will see how it holds up over time. I didn’t ask but I’m guessing they have the cut templates now because it only took him about 20 mins. I was happy to see they were working on another ‘25 M50. It was dark graphite and looked really nice.

Thanks a lot for sharing. That looks pretty good. Congrats on getting all the PPF done! Since you mentioned that you can feel the edge--how visible is the seam? Is the edge bothering you at all so far?

It’s not really visible at all unless you are really looking for it. I imagine after time it might peel up or collect dirt and be more noticeable. So far I’m happy and not bothered by it. I feel less cautious about scratching it up. It was worth the $50 in my opinion.
The next thing I was considering was a screen protector. I came across some for the ‘25 X3 on Amazon but there’s not enough reviews out there for me to move forward with it. I’ll probably wait until BMW or someone reputable has one available.

Looks nice. What’s the part number for the front emblem and back emblem if you got a matching one? I’m getting full stealth ppf also but I got Arctic Race Blue.
