Arrow To wrap or not to wrap, that is the question

Afternoon guys and girls

Just wondering what everyone thought on the new craze of car wraps.

Im getting my M3 soon, and my thoughts where to get a cheaper color (white is really expensive in the UK for some reason) and wrap it in gloss white for about 1000 pounds.

Long story short, i save 7000 pounds on my budget that ill have spare if i do that. But the finish never looks as good as the real thing, it doesnt have the depth that a paint finish does. I just dont think ill feel as special having a wrapped car.

What do you guys think?

Shell out for the real deal and use up my budget?
or the above?

8K for white? Wow. I'd get that shit brown that was on the forum a while back and change the color seven times for that money!

What are you on about? The Alpine white colour is a no cost option.

AW is a standard UK paint finish yes, however I'm not buying my m3 brand new.

Im buying it with around 15k on the clock as its a hell of a lot cheaper that way from BMW approved used.
