Andy I am hoping to get a C63 when my E55 lease runs out in August of 09.
What's your thoughts on the P30 package is it worth it?

Regards!

Hope everybody on the W211 board is chilling out!

Then it must have Not been a high end job/ kit... I've heard of 1K and above.

It was 2 years ago so prices may have been less. The Job was perfect and looked flawless. When I sold the 335i the buyer couldn't find the cutoff line until I showed him. The 335i was Alpine White so that may have had some bearing on how it showed. I never had any problems with it and it really protected that front end with no, absolutely no chips on the front end of the car. I got top dollar for the car when I sold due to the condition and how I take of my cars and the front end and the clear bra were flawless.

I drove between California and Arizona several times a month at highway speeds and the chance for rocks and pitting was very high. As a Matter of fact I had to replace the windshield once from a hit on a trip.

"All at $300 from the dealer. Go figure that!

Phil,
I honestly can't say if the package is worth it or not (I certainly wouldn't have paid for the speed limiter removal seperately since I knew I was going to tune it right off the bat) since I really don't have most of the components lol. IMO the car could use a stiffer suspension, though I can see how others may not; though a stiffer ride would probably hurt launch at the strip it would help during OTing. The stock brakes are terrific but having less rotating mass from the Al hubbed rotors wouldn't be a bad thing. The alcantra hand grips on the wheel I could give or take. The key component for me was the LSD as I knew what kind of testing I would be doing it was absolutely essential to me.
My biggest gripe with the car so far is that the terrific seats are just not wide enough. I'm not a huge guy (5'10" 205lbs) but my shoulders/lats just don't fit--I sit on the seat, not in it.

LOL, me too! That was one hell of an introduction, lol, hopefully we got all the bad stuff out of the way already.

I clear bra'd the car and it was $850.... but a job very well done, took over 4 hours to do.... I was there watching.

YOWCH.

$700 and $850 for someone to squeegee some sticky clear film? HOLY COW!

I have to agree with the poster above.. unless you drive heavy highway with gravel routes, forgo the film and pay the painter when it's time.

My own outlook on this is that I'm buying the car for my use, not the next guy. So if it devalues the car a bit so be it. I'll do my darndest to keep it in top notch shape, but bras, clear bras, wind and bug deflectors - that's just over the top. Kind of like buying a nice tapestry couch and wrapping it in plastic - something most of my bud's parents did when I was growing up. I just don't get it.

MHP,

If you want the bra done, I'm actually a dealer for the product. We did my entire hood, front clip and mirrors for about $600. My cost on the normal hood application, front clip and mirrors is around $500. Let me know if I can help you out?

I personally wouldn't buy another car without, all my cars except the Buick have been done, and its peace of mind for me. Keeps the front end nice

Now that's kind of like a butcher always recommending meat, an employee of PM or RJR recommending cigs or someone working for Nike slamming Reebok gear.

Of COURSE you wouldn't buy one without.

MHP

Thanks for chiming in!
