Clear Bra
 
Just got my 2011 35d. Did anyone in the ny metro area get his or her car done. Worth the money? Any recommendation for installer.

Thanks.

Clear Bra & Build Information
 
I will be getting mine done when it's delivered.

On a side note, I have a production number but no build date. I went to the dealer this weekend to see if I could get more detailed information and he looked it up and said that it looks like we are scheduled for the 8th week of the year for build.

My question is, in others experience, whether those estimates are accurate or if they usually have have longer lead times and the build actually happens sooner.

I really don't want to wait until March but clearly the wife and I are hoping for sooner. First time we have ordered a BMW. :dunno:

Thanks

I had mine done the day after I picked up my X. I would reccomend the same guy that did mine. His name is Nelson and he's on Rt. 17 in Paramus. His number is 973-207-7000. Tell him Ken (the trainer) with the X5 sent yua. :thumbup:

I'm surprised your dealer didn't try to sell you a clear bra, tint, sealant, etc when you got your car. Normally they try to negotiate it as well as other optional warranties. I normally just talk to the installer directly though and try to get a better price.

I do highly recommend a Clear Bra for any and all vehicles that come in contact with harsh conditions often. I see a lot of sand, gravel, debris around my area and the clear bra definitely helps preserve the paint.

I usually just plan on my wife rear ending someone in the first 20k miles!

Thanks Trainer. Will give him a call tomorrow. Guess the "D" is staying in the garage for the next couple days as we are expecting more snow.

I asked my dealer about it and they said it has damaged paintwork and they won't install it anymore. Anyone else heard this?

Try these guys. They did 2 of my cars 6 years ago on same day. No problems. One car they were not happy with outcome so they asked me to come back and redid it again at no charge. They work on luxury cars and exotics all the time.
