Hello! I'm new around here!
I fell in love with the E85 when it was first launched in 2002, and then the E89 when it followed, and finally after many years, I'm taking delivery of an E89 2.0i on Thursday. I've been waiting the better part of 20 years to be able to get one of these cars, and I'm super stoked.
It's a 2016 in Jet Black, with a mere 12.5k miles on the clock. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions, thoughts or experiences regarding ceramic coating the car?
I'm hesitant because of the obvious cost, but keen to avoid the dreaded paint swirls and scratches if I can.

Welcome to the forum, can't help with the coating, but we do like photos so when you get it, remember
