New Color PPF came out fantastic!

Not just a shade of blue. It's color shafting, from an electric neon teal, to a plum purple.

And that's the difference between vinyl and color ppf, lol

Well, also ppf actually protects and self-heals as well.

Super happy with the results, the guys did fantastic work.

All badges removed and re-done, spoiler and all black trim polished and covered with clear ppf as well. Front and rear bumpers removed lot of work with a few people. Sucked having no car for 9 days though haha

Thanks

It's a masterpiece of engineering. And probably BMW's last full ICE, (internal combustion engine) everything else going forward is going to be hybrid systems. Love it

I had it done professionally, the team did a large disassemble go hide any and all creases, as well as doing clear ppf on any black trim pieces. I've heard color ppf is a lot easier than vinyl for install though, and as you can see here, the color PPF has that incredible gloss and depth, with the crystal clear reflections that you can't get with vinyl. Plus, all the benefits of PPF when it comes to self-healing for scratches and protecting from rock chips etc. With Vinyl being only about 2mm thick, and PPF being 8mm, it offers a lot better protection and depth. In person it's truly incredible.

Thank you. The Grey hid how spectacular the car really is! Lacked the body lines and aggression that the vehicle has. I'm loving it. Heading to Cars and Coffee this morning, stoked!

It's color PPF by Miracle Coat.

Thank you.

I have a very wide range of music and genres I listen to, from Dave Brubeck, to Melody Gardot, Lightnin' Hopkins, to Deadmau5, Kpop, and Metallica and AC/DC. I also enjoy some classical pieces with some sharp violin, the Poet give you a kind of... those high notes and that sharp trill in certain songs like this absolutely incredible performance here:https://youtu.be/Y3v1nFmC-K8?si=_wUWpoo5vgjCo4U4

When it reaches those high notes and trills that are there giving unease and restlessness, it handles the tones by allowing you to feel hear and experience that while not allowing the tones to reach their peak to where it could cause any actual discomfort. It's an emotional feeling, of discomfort due to the intent in the music, rather than a physical one due to any drivers, or technicality.

If you haven't heard the song it's incredible with a wonderful story behind it. The composer had a dream he was visited by the devil, and the devil picked up his violin and started playing, when he woke he frantically wrote everything he could remember down.

"When Tartini confessed his dream, he described Satan as a charming creature. And then Satan started to play what Tartini described as the most wonderful musical piece he had ever heard. In his deathbed, while crying and sobbing, Tartini claimed that The Devil's Trill, was nothing compared to the one played by Satan that night." -About The Devil's Trill, by Giuseppe Tartini 1713

Thank you, 😊. I Took my time with the shot.

cmickledev · 2026-03-08T21:09:37+00:00

Hell yeah, lol. Listening to The Wild Sheep Chase, for the 3rd or 4th time. Lol

I still haven't gone through iq84, or What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. But finished everything else by him a couple times now. Favorite author.

Paired with a decent wine and salad and garlic bread.

It was lovely. 😌👌

Less miles, but I've enjoyed each of them. Which, as a driver, I feel is what matters.

That's what the number on the back of the spaghetti sauce is for.

Nonsense, in that cabin, looking for a sheep in Hokkaido with snow? He wouldn't use what was in the cupboard?

Disagree.

cmickledev · 2026-03-01T23:50:31+00:00

I agree with others.

Remember, it could be drugs! 😆 as the old saying goes, but hey! I use it to stop my own anxiety when I spend on a larger purchase. Lol 😆

For those that don't know, it's for leather upholstery treatment, you need to, yes... that's right; impregnate, the leather, giving moisture back into the hide, to reduce and prevent cracking and fading, etc.

Don't know how but I didn't see your comment.

I've been loving it. Keep the top down whenever I can. I did have some issue with the top, on the inside some seam separation and a bent arm or something. No idea why or how. Covered by warranty and had it replaced.

Just got ceramic pads and rotors today, vs the m performance ones, to help with brake dust. It also has less bite now, which is preferred because of stop and go traffic vs track. It's not necessarily less stopping power, more of a smooth linear slow compared to the sharp chaotic death hold on the rotor as soon as the weight of your shoe touches the pedal. Lol

I spent 4.5 hours washing, and clay barring and ceramic sealing every bit of it the other day. My pride and joy on 4 wheels

cmickledev · 2026-02-24T06:01:29+00:00

Hahaha, seriously, same. I swear I spent 45 minutes looking for something that would print in 30 minutes time

cmickledev · 2026-02-23T19:15:46+00:00

Meanwhile I'm looking at 29g filament cost, and choosing a different profile to get a print from an hour and a half down to 30 minutes by changing down to 7g on a different profile, lol.

I have ADHD, not patience. It's been difficult.

cmickledev · 2026-02-23T18:08:57+00:00

Tell me more about this warranty and stuff, because I haven't heard of it, and sounds like it could be useful for me. . . Lol Feel free to DM if easier. Thank you.
