Jawdroppingly impressive man. As a detail oriented person myself I can appreciate the amount of time and effort it must have taken to do this the right way.

Great looking car! I might be in the minority, but I LOVED it when it was SGM and on the Morr's. But i guess after awhile, I'd probably want to change it up as well. I wished I could have found a SGM when I got mine, but AW was the only one with what I was looking for that I could find in the little bit of time I had. Looks good tho!

The paint will be prestine under the vinyl. Its basically sealed under it just like clear bra. As long as you remove the wrap within 3-5 years there shouldn't be any issues with your paint. After that there is a chance that the wrap will be more difficult to remove but i've never had anything wrapped for that long.

Materials alone came out to about 800-1K.

Its actually harder to clean or keep the car clean with this wrap. Much like matte paint its easier to mark it up and harder to clean since there isn't much of a clear coat to let the dirt slide off. It isn't bad since this is satin but the more matte you go the more work is needed to clean it. Not sure how Lacster's gloss red wrap was but i'd imagine his being close to paint in terms of maintenance wise. I have been using spray wax on it and it seems to help because it makes the surface more slick to touch without changing the way the satin look.

This is not something I would recommend someone trying to DIY if you've never worked with vinyl before. I've done other stuff/cars before so I had experience but I even ran into some areas that took me a few hours to do easy. There are some areas on the F10 that is a pain to do but overall this car isn't bad to wrap. In comparison my friends Audi Allroad was one of the worst cars to do!

Hey Alan

A piece of advice in regards to maintenance, i can recommend you a product called Reload by Carpro here is the link attached for the product. Do some research on it, but believe me its worth every penny for short & long term especially with vinyl. http://www.carpro-us.com/coatings-se...l-new-formula/ LMK if you need advice

Awesome ride!! I also have a 550i and looking to start modding again. I thought about getting an M5 but I already have my 550i and can spend the money on modding it instead.

But, I really admire your car and you have great taste. Ill be posting pics soon.

Pictures are kind of gloomy.
Great car.

When I saw the pictures, I felt a sense of deja vu because I remember I have saw those pictures on some Chinese auto website.
