Most likely due to the more than usual amount of accidents from a particular car scene unfortunately.

Enjoy the smiles with the miles, it does sound like the S68 could do with an axle back at the least to open up its character

What dealer did you get this car from? Can you please provide a few details on the deal that you received?

I agree with your thinking and will probably do the same with my M550i but I worry that putting PPF on the hood may make the paint discolor/wear differently than the rest of the car… Your thoughts?

Looks like it has started,...one drive and many will become addicted to that eTorque boost!

I know this isn't a fully electric M5,...but a day will come when an M5 will be a full EV,...and that Torque hit will convince many,...not all, but many will come over.

All the same, congratulations and enjoy it to the fullest!

I dont think good quality ppf will affect the paint after removal but can not say 100%
In my case it is a lease so i am returning the car in 3 years

Beautiful would love to have one. Lucky duck. Whenever I hear power hides weight its true. However it does make me think of my KTM Adventure 1090R. It’s 500 pounds but that motor makes it all go away. Until I ride it aggressively off road. Then the tires especially front end push are then easily overwhelmed. And if she gets out of shape or off line then… 😱😳

They have a triple black sitting on the lot here in Georgia waiting for someone to buy it and on a discount too. Ask for Zion!
