2023 Brooklyn Grey M340i Journal
This is my wife's 2023 M340i that we ordered in October 2022 and picked up in early January 2023.
Received her back from paint correction, PPF and tint this past week. Also, did some artwork for her as a little surprise and something she can hang in her office. www.twinskrulldesign.com Have some M-Performance 898M "Frozen Gunmetal" wheels on order that should arrive sometime in mid March.

Actually just received shipping confirmation for the 898M wheels this morning. They probably won't go on til late April being that we're in Wisconsin.

Thanks. Have to do the PPF...We both commute on the highway everyday and just get pelted with salt and stones, etc.

Great choice on the color. Currently waiting on the same with black sensatec and black 791M wheels.
Do you remember roughly how long your car sat in the "ready for transport" stage? |

Did you get the whole car protected in ppf or just the high impact areas and are you happy with the result?
Similar spec car arriving next month and I’m on the fence about getting a track pack or fill ppf I’m really looking forward to seeing those alloys out on! Good taste my friend. |

Nice car, and good choice on OEM wheels but I see you replacing them...
Is this new normal now for people to spend 6k USD+ or whatever on getting car paint corrected and PPFed - even if it is brand new?!

I can't wait to see them on the car. I was thinking the same style by bronze/gold.

It’s not that much, but getting it done when it’s brand new is the optimal time to do it. The paint correction rids the car of all imperfections and micro scratches (even when new). The PPF protects the vehicle from road debris and mild impacts (which happens every day on both of our commutes) and the ceramic locks in the perfect looking paint (like a hard candy shell) for many years if taken care of properly. To answer your question; yes it’s becoming a lot more prevalent nowadays.

Those wheels are so nice! I wish they didn't cost so much. I also wish you can just spec your car with them as an option.

Having tires and OEM TPMS sensors mounted to the 898M wheels tomorrow.
My wife also wanted the steering wheel to have the matching "50 Years of M badge" so everything cohesive.

Finally got a chance to install my wife’s 898M M-performance wheels. These pictures don’t do these wheels justice…

They're the same specs as the OEM staggered setup, however they are approximately 7 lbs lighter on each corner. Take that with a grain of salt because I'm not sure if the scale I used was completely accurate.
