On my i5, I activated the complimentary EA plan and set up the Plug and Charge feature so that the certificate is saved on the car. Now, all I have to do is plug in and the charging starts automatically. It doesn’t seem to need my EA account at all.

Beautiful car I wanted to do the Matte Ppf on mine. Once you get the charging correct its plug in and charged.

I have been today at my Dealership, saw at entrance beautiful 5er in Carbon Black. I thought it was black! Interior, especially seats color is not my taste, but rest is really nice.

Posting if someone is interested.

That is true frozen. I'm getting cold just looking at it.

I just got XPel Fusion Plus ceramic coating. It’s dark, so I will get some pics in the daytime. Here is a close up where you can see all the sparkles in Tanzanite Blue, which were not noticeable before.

That looks sweet - I assume the flecks were there all along but the ceramic coating is bringing them out?

Nice, looking forward to the before and after shots during the daytime.

Also, the coolest two things about that photo is:

1. You can see that there are actually amber lights at the rear (not only red), and
2. You can see the bi-colored sneakers and light colored top of the photographer! LOL

Not sunny enough to see the shine.
XPel Prime XR 20 on sides and rear. State law is 26% but 30 was too light.

Ceramic is XPel Fusion Plus. Good for 4 years. Need an annual inspection to keep the warranty intact.

Beautiful car!

[RichardInCA]

Nice build Trevor - let us know your impressions after you’ve had the chance to get to know it better.

Looks great, I have the same wheels on mine. You plan on adding any tint for the windows??

No tint, staying just as it is.

1 thing I do not like. The key fob hole for a key ring is too small!!!

I don't carry a fob, I just use my phone as the key for the car. I know what you mean though, it is a tight fit to get even a thin ring through.

Once you get your new phone with UWB and setup digital key plus you won’t even need that clunky fob.

I agree. My key stays hung on a key rack. It’s so much more convenient to just use your phone.

It seems that BMW changes the key designs every generation, and they run in a good/bad cycle. In the E70, it had a nice compact key, good. F10, big chunky key, bad. G05, nice and compact design, good. G30, what the f is this thing?

Wow, looks great! So shiny and clean. Have fun with it and enjoy. I should also add how much I like the bluish tint that shows in the Carbon Black color when looking at the right angle. Very nice.
