A real bucket list item for me and fun to think that when I have the car at home I'll always have the satisfaction and joy of the experience of having driven it in Europe previously.
Agree. I also brought along TrackkTape, but decided not to use it...German roads are so well maintained, I had 0 chips over 10 days of driving.

Congratulations on you pickup next week! Christmas in July!
I curbed a 666 rim on my previous M3, which also has a machined front. After the repair, it looked perfect. They sand it down and polish it, so if you look REALLY close at the right angle you can tell it was fixed. But even a foot away it looks new.
If it has a tinted clear coat sanding it will make it shiney.
