Finally got my 330e home after ceramic, tint..

I picked my 330e late on last Friday, dropped off at Advanced Detail for ceramic, wheels and interior plus tint.

Just got it back today.
Good news: It looks great, really like driving it, going to have lots of fun playing with the electric motor, trying to get maximum range.

Bad news: Already got a smashed bug on the bonnet, and the detailer alerted me to the horribly crooked 330e badge.

Maybe it was “take your kid to work day” at the plant ?

Your car looks excellent (apart from the badge of course)😃.
The PB is a great colour.
Your tint looks pretty dark. Is it 20% on the back and 28% on the front?
The dealer can re-fit the 330 badge for you......no charge of course.

Thanks SteveAus, when people say something about the colour, I say “Blue is great, could easily have gone the orange!”
The fronts are 35%, the rears “one step darker”.

They should, just waiting for them to get back to me. I wonder if the coating needs a touch up afterwards?

You might need a touch up after the badge is re-fitted, depending exactly how the dealer tackles the issue.
Your detailer should do this light re-touch free of charge. Certainly, the guys who did my car said they would do the rear diffuser for free when it eventually arrives.

Nice. I just asked mine if it would need something. He said probably not, but he's happy to reapply around it if I want to .

I'm almost tempted to not risk BMW touch the car, just ask for something in return.

The flaw gives the car character..
