My dealer seems to have removed the protective film near the rear wheels on my F82. the car is being delivered to me and is already on the transport from interstate..
I need the film on the car and do not want to pay for it considering they shouldn't have removed it in the first place. what are my options here considering I cant take the car to the dealer I bought the car from? can I take it to any BMW dealer and would they put it on? any help would be much appreciated.. |

Not really sure. I bet the film was probably old and yellowed. I think the best thing to do is call the dealer that removed it and see what they can do for you.

Oh ok. Hmm, dont know why they removed it but you could probably ask for them to ship you new ones and you can install yourself or maybe see if they could work with your local dealer to get them installed if you arent familiar with installing PPF.

Are you sure they removed it? It might be hard to see in pics. Rather than them sending you the OEM film, I would ask whether they would reimburse you to have a shop apply Xpel protective film. The OEM film barely covers that area and is not protective enough, and I'd have a shop extend the protection up higher.

yeah and its double each here in AUS!! I am not going to ask the dealer to send them to me and push down the refund road as XPEL PPF is def on my list of things to do right away. I rather get the whole thing done as a package here through a good installer, which is better value for $. |

If the dealer is going to charge you, I would go after market route. As others stated, the OEM piece is expensive and small. It only sat on my car for about a week before I stripped it and covered my entire car in PPF.
