I share the concern about scratches on the black.
A good installer can do his own template and it’ll be a non-issue.

There is already a kit for the manual according to a ppf co I’ve used.

I picked up mine on Friday and have put 220 miles on it so far. Love the manual, very similar to my 2017 M2. No carbon fiber spoiler — not that I expected it, but at one time it came up on My Garage.

Biggest surprise to me is how good the ride is. My 2020 Z4 M40i CPO had 18” wheels and I thought the 19”/20” might be rough — the Handschalter 19”/20” setup is better! My usual drive to work is a bit bumpy with railroad tracks, manhole covers, etc. The 2025 doesn’t crash as much on bigger bumps, is smoother, and quieter. The 19”/20” are running Michelin Pilot Super Sport and the 18” were running Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (factory tire pressures, tread depth 5-5.5 mm front and 7mm rear).

Fantastic car! If you are on the fence, go for it! Save the Manuals!

Looks like they are in Canada. Those definitely aren’t an option in the US.

Hood and trunk are from ebay. Wheel caps are IND Carbon Floating Wheel Center Cap Set. They look so nice on gloss black wheels.

Glad it's finally home. It either teleported from the VPC to your dealership, or MyGarage was terrible about updating. You said you never got another update after it was unloaded from the ship?
