riM3 - Delivery - New Car Prep - First Mods Thread
Hey All -
Tomorrow morning at 9am I pick up my 2013 M3 (personal conflict prevented me from doing so today). Specs are as follows: 6MTImmediately after pick-up I'm taking it to Unique Auto Care of Wakefield, MA to have the following done: Full Exterior Detail: Hand washXpel Ultimate Film: Front BumperFull Opti-Coat 2.0 (including wheels and Xpel film) 22ple VX1 Sealant (may be duplicative w/ Opti-Coat, but they seem to be synergistic) Afterwards (or during the film application), I'm going to swap the following parts: Mods: BMW Black Edition GrillsThe only unfinished item (for now) is the Competiton Spoiler - I chose not to do a port install (as I've heard that materially increases your time at port) in favor of a dealer install. Unfortunately, I was told that Betalink is on backorder nationwide Oh well. I plan on documenting pick-up; before, during and after-detailing and pre/post mods with my D3100. Since I know you're all picture whores...I'll start things off with my build/tracking... |

Also consider getting the spoiler with a color matched stripe from a company like IND. I think it looks great. Congrats on the new ride

Quick, iPhone update... more to come!
A couple outside... On the way to Unique Car Care... given that I was constantly loading/unloading throttle, I am impressed with mileage... In good hands! |

I asked the dealership not to touch the car. All they did was so that the car was able to drive. They could have also left the car wrapped as well. I almost did that but didnt want to drive the car with it on for a few days. All interior seats were in plastic and doors had protective cardboard taped on it. I just dropped it off so Rick will take care of all that. |

Honestly - car looked much better than show room new when I picked it up (and I thought it looked great when I picked it up). |
