    This beautiful brand new estoril blue BMW 328i M Sport receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation.

    The car was received relatively clean, however we found hair line scratches in clusters, some light swirls and marring from washes, and the b pillars were the normal lightly scratched and scuffed up piano black we have come accustomed to on cars with these type of trim pieces.

    The final results were great and I believe the customer was quite happy with the work performed.

    Beautiful results. Agree with others that I love to see these posts.

    Interesting roundels on the car. Is that shield in the windshield part of the M-Sport package? <g>
