M4 GTS - So Cal

lorinzo · 02-24-2017, 10:59 AM

Spotted this on the 170 South Freeway in Valley Village/North Hollywood February 23, 2017.

Who is getting a new toy?

I assume the thing on the rear wing is some kind of guard?

I believe this car was brought to Beverly Hills BMW yesterday! The wing holds the front under tray to prevent damage via transport.

That thing on the rear wing is actually the front spoiler! They cant ship with it on, it'll get damaged

"Thing" would be a pretty spendy guard for the wing

I'm picking it up this week. I ordered it from Neda at Beverly Hills BMW last August. Going to install a full clear bra on the car. Any recommendations in Southern California?

Bain is the go to guy for your clear Bra. His telephone number is 310 613 3978. He has done a perfect job on an F12 and a 991 TTS for me. I have a Frozen GTS and did not put a clear bra on because I like the matte finish on the car which will change with the PPF. On another note, Neda is the best, by leaps and bounds! I have purchased several cars from her and highly recommend anybody buying a BMW to contact her.

You can always do the xpel in matte which won't take away from your finish at all.

I talked to Ryan, owner of Protective Film Solutions. They've done 4 GTS's and I felt comfortable talking with him. He has done several cars for friends of mine and they've been happy with his work. I am going to give Bain a call and see what he has to say. I have heard his name several times before. Thanks.

I understand that the Matte film has a different texture. So far, i have not found the Matte paint to be a problem. I use the BMW products to clean and wax it. I know if something gets scratched though I am a little screwed. To my PV friend, I hope Bain works out for you. He is easy to deal with and his work is superb.

I did the matte Expel on the whole front end, mirrors, and A pillar. It's nearly impossible to detect, and if you really try hard, you can feel a difference. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone else to get at least the front end wrapped. It's a no-brainer, and there is absolutely nothing to fear. If anything, it's good peace of mind.
