Funny, I just picked up my 4.8i from BMW of Bloomfield this past weekend. Very nice guys, especially the used car guys I dealt with. Typically, they aren't as "nice" as the new vehicle salesmen in my experience.

But overall, great experience.

Depends on how much you cover. But could cost $400 to $600.

Funny me too, I just picked up my 35d from Bloomfield BMW. Helen Ng is great.

As with the clear bra, I got two quotes and they were both over 1k. 500 to 600 sounds great I would jump on that if I find a good installer.

Nelson charged me $650. I had him do a previous truck of mine too, no problems. He works on a lot of high end cars. Good guy.

How about Phil at Detailers Domain? If I lived up north I'd take it to him, have him to a nice detail and then custom wrap on the important parts.

Clear Bra
 

My dealer (Murray BMW) offers it and says they are well worth the money. I had this done on my 335i xDrive and based on some windshield pitting am glad I did the whole front.

I'm friendly with Phil. He does not like to do these those any more.

I just picked up 2011 X50 and need to get it wrapped... For $650, what did he exactly wrap for you?

I pickup mine in Houston this weekend and a newbie to this clearbra stuff.

Are there different types of clear bra's; If yes, which brand should we prefer. Are there different coverage areas?

any recommendations in houston for the clear bra?
