I have an M2C and I paid close to $1,200 for a complete front Xpel PPF, included fenders, hood, lights and side mirrors. This is back in 2018. It has held up extremely well and I don’t even see a single bubble. No one can tell the car is PPF’d and seams are also invisible.

Having said that, I think it’s not worth it. I’m going to get a 2025 M3C and not going to get the PPF this time. Use that money for something more useful, like a suspension upgrade or buy something that you will hold on to for a long time.

PPF typically lasts for 7-8 years as far as I know.

It’s a depreciating asset so by all means invest the money somewhere else if at all possible. Worst case improve the car’s performance if you really want to spend more money on the car.

Small knicks and scratches can be buffed or touched up over time. After a couple of years you won’t care that much about cosmetics.
