Looks sick my man. I get my M4 back on Saturday with a brand new ADRO bumper and Carbon fiber hood. Can't wait!!! I'll drop a video on it.
Brooo I’ve been waiting to watch your video on thattt. That deer might’ve been a blessing haha the car is about to look sick !
I’ll subscribe, just because you seem genuine!! Car is dope. Have a 2023 M340. Looking at the M3 comp in a year.
Appreciate it bro! B58 is an amazing engine and you’re going to love the m3 when you get it! I loved my N55 before this
Hey bud. I'm enjoying watching your journey. Happy for you. Lord bless
Appreciate the kind words! Thank you!! Hopefully can bring some enjoyable content with the mods
@Automaz_ looking forward to it
Car looks amazing and umbra is one of the top places in the burbs for tinting. Also your iPhone mic sounds way better imo
I need to toss this mic in the garbage 😂😂 I just got that dji 2 mic that people were recommending so hopefully it’s good. It is brutal trying to record a car out in the wind 😂😂
I can't justify getting PPF on my vehicles when I only keep them 2-3 years. It does not increase the resale value.
Yeah if you're only keeping your vehicles for 3 years then I don't suggest you get PPF brotha. I keep my cars for a very long time usually
9k...damn! but it looks really good and the smile on your face is priceless! Me im not sure... As with almost everthing and every decision in the car world it is purely subjective. I understood and saw your point and joy clearly and for that alone it would be worth it IMHO. I look forward to more great content. Stay safe and blessed!
Thank you bro!!! Loving the car so far haha! Will try to bring you some good content !
I got full xpel on my M3 2023 as well. 7500ish. Worth it in my opinion. Don’t have to worry about a shitty car wash with the self healing. Very easy to do rinseless washes. I also did the same 35% sides and rear with xpel black tint too. Perfect tint level
Great minds think alike 😅
Did they change the m4 emblems on the side vents or replace the entire part? I’m doing all black emblems from chrome.
Def did the front and all susceptible areas with ppf. Ceramic tint at 35% (seems darker) and ceramic coated everything including interior.
Entire part was changed with an OEM carbon piece and came with the emblem attached
Looks wonderful! $6,750 is a very good price. I bought my i4 M50 last year and still haven't done the PPF. Probably this year. The price is still steep though.
Thanks! If you’re keeping the car long term might be worth it! My Tesla has PPF and someone swiped bumper in a parking lot. I just came home, boiled some water and got a cloth damp and I rubbed out the marks lol … self healed

You may see some edges in a few months. They should be able to address it.
I bought the OEM carbon fiber side vents from BMW and they come with the emblem already attached
I also changed the rear M4 emblem to the gloss black edition from the 2024 model because I think my 2025 emblem looks like a cartoon piece with the sides a different 3D type of look 😂😂
@@Automaz_yeah I have the manual. I hm just want the m3 on the side badge to be all black without saying “competition “. I can’t find anyone that has only swapped the emblem.
Of course I’m with you on the new emblems. Not good looking at all. Better with all black.
my full xpel ppf and ceramic coating for F90 LCI was 6500, ceramic tints was 350 or 450. PPF/ceramic coating got a deal from a friend tho..
Phenomenal deal! You basically got the ceramic coating done for free! Helps to have friends like that haha

should i get my m3 fully ceramic coated or fully ppf if i could only pick one. also which is cheaper and better
They both serve different purposes. The PPF will protect your car from rock chips and scratches which I think is the most important. The ceramic coating will repel a lot of water and make it easier to keep the car clean.
I would recommend you go with PPF if you had to choose just one. (PPF is much more expensive because of what it does for the car and how labor intensive it is to apply)
Dude why fully ppf for like 7k. May as well get a wrap for for 3-5k and go wild and still protected underneath. The second biggest gripe is that 9k spent, completely gone when you sell the car no one paying for any of that just kbb or below
I keep my cars for a pretty long time. And I didn’t want to vinyl wrap it because I love the color I chose. Fully PPF cars actually to have more resale value since the paint under is 100% fresh
How is the visibility with 55 on the front windshield
It’s amazing I’d def recommend going 55% … any darker will impact visibility negatively and any lighter… well you barely have a tint then haha
I have 70% in the Tesla. 55% is def the way to go
Random question: I noticed that your car seems to run iDrive 8 but the LCI model was said to run 8.5, which the regular 4 series LCI definitely does. Could you check, if it really still runs iDrive 8? Would be a bummer if they cleared out old head units in the M4s. My M4 LCI is bound to arrive 5 weeks from now and I´m really curious, which version of the hard-/software I will get.
It's iDrive 8.5. The M cars get the same UI skin as the pre-LCI iDrive 8 models so it looks basically the same. Although it should run more smoothly vs iD8.
@@chrisburry8147 That's good to know! I do wonder, what led to this decision. Especially since the M4 CS does have the new UI (at least the press cars have it). Pretty strange O.o
My car is getting off the boat today, so hoping to get it next week. I’m going to try to negotiate 5% off MSRP - being that you’re a master negotiator 😂 what do you think?
@@Barney584 the M4 CS has the same basic iDrive 8 look as the new M4 does (horizontal tiles, same gauges, etc) but they did curiously add the short cut bar where the climate menu is at the bottom of the screen). It's still not the same look as in say the 2025 M440i LCI. No idea why they have to have so many skins to these iD8/iD8.5 UI's. Odd.
@@Barney584 at least seeing that the LCI M4 running 8.5 doesn't make me regret getting my 2024 M3 Competition...even though it's 8.5, it looks the same as mine! 😂
How is getting in and out of bucket seats?is it comfortable?
That my friend is like mastering an art form 😂😂
It’s actually pretty difficult because you have to avoid hitting your knees on the Alcantara steering wheel and you also do not want to scuff the side bolsters of the carbon buckets 😭😭
Old headlight its cool
I love both the designs 😁

Come hit up Calibre coffee next sat!
Cars and coffee?
@@Automaz_ Yes sir.
You can’t complain about my $2,000 bags after this😊
😂😂😂
😅😅🫠🫠🫠
Are you going to drive ur bag
L M A O
6750 is really good but I think ima pass if the quotes I get are 9k.
Yeah bro after getting so many quotes … this was definitely a very fair price at $6750
Beautiful spec
Nice positive people deserve nice things
Money well spent
Thank you brotha I appreciate the kind words !
@@Automaz_ most definitely brother
tuxmat, only way to go. I bought the M performance ones, they won't last and don't cover as much of the carpet as they should. And weathertech is cheap amd looks cheap. I'm telling you tuxmat is amazing, covers the most and looks expensive. I have them inmy G80.
I’ll send a picture of mine I really like the bmw all weather floor mats they suit the car
This car just need the Cs grill 🙏🏾
Thinking of what grille to get!
Might do something a little different than the CSL grille
@@Automaz_ maybe VORSTEINER VRS AERO FRONT 🤷🏽♂️ from R44
Pretty sure a Beamer is a motorcycle. A Bimmer is a car.
I think as of a couple years ago they’re used interchangeably 😅
Need to drop and space it
1000%
Suspension is one of the first things I usually mod first
Pov drive
Getting that go pro set up just for this !
Full PPF is a bit overkill IMO. I paid $1300 for the full front, mirrors and door handles. Unfortunately it won’t do anything for the resell value. It’s more for an ease of mind
I have full frontal on my Tesla and it has worked fine over the past two years. However the M4 is just so wide bro… within 200 miles I got a rock chip on my drivers side door which was crazy to me. Don’t even know how the rock hit it lol but when I drive I’m constantly hearing rocks on this car. My mind is def at ease after the full ppf … I’d def recommend anyone with very wide/flared cars to get full ppf. I initially only wanted to do full frontal but that door rock chip changed my mind
@@Automaz_ I feel ya. I'm driving a 24' M4 Competition currently. Paid $995 for full body ceramic coating (included the wheel faces). IRX Lumar tint was $600
"money can't buy happiness"
😂😂
waste of money
😳
😂😂
What's your reason? I know there are pros and cons.
Carbon fibre fake vent trim lol. Doesnt get any more gimmicky than that. Non functional + adding carbon where there are no performance gains / weight savings. Fail.
Haha appreciate the input … but there is no fake carbon fiber on the car it is all OEM from factory and spec’d with the carbon package
