Hi guys, I am a 1M owner, and plan on getting an M5 in the next 2-3 years.
I really want to get the frozen blue paint, but I am most concerned about constantly getting layered in bugs on the front surfaces of the car. Namely, the front bumper, mirrors, front of the hood and the front of the A-pillers. What is this clear-bra you speak of? Is that the same as the 3M or equivalent protector? Is it plastic, and very noticeable? I've read elsewhere that it is not as big a deal to take care of as was originally thought. Just not buffing basically. My dealer told me to stay away from it, but I find that I can't resist the cool look of it. Bugs are a major problem for me. Am constantly rubbing them off of my 1M in the summer.
