Finally got my iX, but that is a story for a different time. Traded in my 9 year old Tesla Model S. I am VERY happy. This is an amazing vehicle.

Love the bronze exterior trim!

LouisianaBimmerFan · 11-21-2022, 05:15 PM

I thought the trim might be 'too blingy', but it is not. Very classy and not overstated. In black, I actually love the front grille!

I would kill for that set of rims. My M60 comes with a set of 21, and I had to remove the aero blades due to a balancing issue.

Congrats!

Tried to reply to your PM about who did my ppf but I guess I haven’t posted enough yet.
Had it done at Elite Clear Bra in Huntington Beach after getting 2 other quotes
They had the car for 3 days

I appreciate it ..

Paid 7k for Stealth ppf, life long ceramic and tint front windows.

jcolinzheng · 11-24-2022, 01:37 AM

Phildas1, may I know how you got the white on black California plate?

npa201 · 11-24-2022, 10:35 AM

Yeah I paid $6500 for full clear PPF on mine. I ceramic coated the interior castanea leather and supposedly they threw in a ceramic coat to the exterior on top of the PPF but can’t confirm if that is the case or not. That was in northern NJ.

I do not believe it to be California approved. But I do see these license plates on the highway daily. I've seen black with red writing, black with white writing. I've seen white with black writing all different variables.

I had a front vinyl license plate in CA for my Tesla M3. It is indeed DMV approved and looks great. Got it from https://licenseplatewrap.com.

I do not believe they are referring to the vinyl sticker that goes onto the bumper. I believe they are talking about taking a California license plate and wrapping it in a non-California approved color. Some of them are non-reflective. Now don't quote me maybe I'm wrong. But these are not plates that the state of California puts out through the DMV.
I think they look good imo.

When I clicked on their link it says at the top "License Plate Wrap is here to stay permanently. Legislature Approved (AB-984)"

sor · 11-25-2022, 11:39 PM

Actually I guess that's fine for the wrap but I don't see the variety of custom colors on that site. Sorry I guess I misunderstood.

I'm referring to the license plates that I posted not the wrap that attached to your front bumper
that the link takes you to.
The business I'm referring to is called "5150 wraps " and I don't see a website for them. They are on Instagram.

quasar81 · 11-27-2022, 09:50 AM

Picked up ours in Northern California
Awesome 200mi drive yesterday!!

Two problems if anyone can help:
- why does it keep asking for pin to enter my profile even if I have keys and BMW Id setup?
- Lane change didn’t seem to work, or I don’t know how to make it work. Tried several times on highway.
