Sometimes I do miss our old e46's. Great, Solid, Well built cars

It's sad what BMW has become. They can't see it and when they finally do it will be to late as the whole "lineup" will be shit.

Wait it almost already is :

If you can't distinguish Frozen paint (which is NOT matte, but satin) from cheap wrap...
you most likely haven't seen a frozen BMW

Frozen colours usually look much more brilliant and gorgeous in person than in picture. They give the car timeless charm and presence. Congrats to the owner

Really do not like these Frozen / Matt paintworks. It's like it has left the factory with just its primer.

Other than that, love the 8er

You are right it is funny, but the Cadillac signature has nothing to do with any car.
I wouldn't buy one of them either...thank god we don't get them down under.

Personally, I can't comprehend paint protection film and ceramic coating, just drive the vehicle. But with leasing, you have a new coat of paint every 3 years.

PS multi BMW M engineers have told me to avoid frozen colors, it looks great in the show room, but is a challenge to maintain. I'm sure that the paint film and coating will affect the matte finish.
No, there is no residue. That is excess solution that he uses to apply the PPF.

No, ceramic itself does not make a car shinier. Gloss paint already has a clear coat shine to it and the ceramic coating enhances that. He uses ceramic from GTech. The ceramic is just a coating that protects the paint.

And PPF on a car is just a barrier on the paint and everything else. You still have to take car of a car that has PPF on it the same as you would a car that doesn't. With ceramic on the PPF, it's less to no maintenance.

I have been well educated in the process and protect my investments.
Good call on the ceramic. Bird poop is like lava rain on frozen paint.

Older BMW's were more fun to drive.
It's more like smaller BMWs were and still are more fun to drive.

We all criticize these new BMWs but we keep buying the + size Bimmers and then throw 20 inch after market wheels etc on em. BMW follows suit and then we blame them for the harsh ride.

I'm not absolving them but there's plenty of blame to go around. Thankfully they still make cars like the M2c for guys who want some of that old feeling back.

M8 coupe was announced earlier today and price difference is only $3,000. Wouldn't waste $$$ for the BMW marketing for the 1st edition M850. As I posted earlier, this 1st edition is late to the party and unless dealerships have a firm customer order, the remaining velicles will collect showroom dust, as the M8 starts production next month (July 2019). Looking like an other M4 GTS and M3 CS 'fire sale' in a few months for the remaining 1st editions. Just waiting now for the last editions and middle editions🤣
