2016 Alpine White M3: XPEL Ultimate + Modesta BC-04/BC-06

I placed an order for a 2016 AW M3 in June 2015 and received a production number about 6 weeks later. After a relatively long wait, I finally took delivery at the Performance Center on October 30, 2015.

After a scenic drive through the Smoky Mountains, I arrived at Knox Details in Knoxville, TN to have XPEL Ultimate applied along with Modesta BC-04 (painted surfaces) and BC-06 (wheels/calipers). I also had several cosmetic modifications installed. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work performed and the professionalism by Tim (owner) and staff. They were attentive, accommodating and committed to turning out a quality product. Mission accomplished! I wanted to share some pics of the process and the end result.

Thanks. I purchased it from one of the vendors here (GetBMWParts). It's worth noting that I had the lip painted gloss black. It will come in a matte black.

That's the best detail job I've seen on this thread. Can only imagine that in real life it must have been seriously impressive.

The splitters have been covered with XPEL. I initially planned to get the lip wrapped but never got around to it.
