X2 M35i Paint Protection Film
Hello all,
I recently got my brand new X2 M35i, and I'd really like to apply some paint protection film, especially on the front. There's a place nearby that installs pre-cut xpel kits, but xpel doesn't have the kit for the 2021 M35i yet. Any other brand suggestions? |

They can't just order the xpel film and fit it to your car?

Haven't paid attention to how much different the 2021 might be .. did they change it all that much? I thought they deleted the fog lights only... I guess if they can't figure out how to get those holes filled it again before they cut it..

It’s a shame that XPEL doesn’t have a pattern for this car. Anytime a manufacture has a pattern it is a better job than if he cuts it himself. If there’s no pattern, ask him to see some of his other jobs or talk to some of his other customers as to how good he is. With paint protection film, it’s the installer that’s more important than the actual selection of the film manufacturer. 3M is great, luminar is good, XPEL is the best.

In my personal experience, the pre cut kits are not that great. It's the edges that tend to be an issue. Would be better off finding someone that can install a custom cut PPF. The edges will be wrapped and I think you'll be a lot happier with the outcome.
