Thing is, driving it with no film during that time is just asking for more chips as the paint will still be soft. BMW needs to address this by putting on the film from the factory. Otherwise, just say no the the Msport.
How do you like the 35d? Any regrets on choosing the 35i over the 35d?

I agree. I had clear bra on the front on my old e53 as well, it got hit, and the body shop wouldn't put the new clear bra on until 30 days when the paint is fully cured.
