World's First 1/1 Murano Green LCI 330i
I felt the need to make a post on my daily driver. This is 100% and without a doubt a worlds first and/or only bmw in existence in this color and I absolutely love it. Bringing a late 70's Porsche PTS color into the world of BMW quite literally leaves everybody in disbelief. The most common question I get is, "is that a paint job". To answer simply, no it is not. I'm sure many of you know what a paint protection film is but in the past two years or so our brand that's based out of Southern California has been testing products from PurePPF. It's colored infused PPF with the same characteristics and technology as Xpel and Stek paint protection films. Colored PPF will without a doubt take over the world of vinyl. It's a much longer lasting paint like product and I will say this.. I've been beating the hell out of this thing and it still looks immaculate after about 5 months. If anybody has any questions, feel free to fire them off! I just felt the need to share the car because I constantly find myself explaining what colored PPF is. Cheers!

I don’t know what shade of green I was expecting Murano Green to be, but it sure as hell was not this shade. It’s beautiful

Can you elaborate on how you dealt with bmw ordering tha colour?
So presumably not a normal bmw individual colour so how do you oroceed to get this one off colour Any pushback initially ot was it straight forward? Presumably costs more than an individual colour? And almost forgot, stunning and very unique, quite literally |

Thank you! I'm a big a OEM+ guy so subtle mods and classy colors is the way to go for sure! I opted not to do the door jambs since the base color of the car is sapphire black metallic + PPF isn't great for door jambs due to the thickness, it creates issues when closing the doors so no need to do those! It's hardly noticeable! In fact, it seems like every dang time in my car. Somebody has me roll the window down to ask how I painted the car that color!

I agree, door jambs and PPF is hard to do. At least you can roll the edges a little into the creases where it looks like the car is completely covered or painted People will always think it's painted and none will know wiser that it's colored PPF. What did you do with your door handles? From the pics it looks to be a different color (black?)... did you use gloss black vinyl to fully bulk wrap it? |

My car has the shadowline package so all of my trims are in gloss black and the door handles were painted body color from the factory. It ties in nicely with the exposed roof! |

Now it makes sense why your door handles and roof are black, I thought you wrapped them separately with gloss black vinyl (lol), only to find out that you have BSM and you didn't end up wrapping it altogether It's little details like that which really bring everything together. Great job! |
