What was done to this BMW M3 Competition?
The M3 Competition received paint protection film across its painted panels and the carbon roof, with the edges wrapped and heat set.
The M3 has an aggressive front end, wide rear quarters and a lot of exposed carbon, all of which pick up stone chips and swirl marks fast. For what matters most on M cars, read our guide to BMW M PPF in Dubai.
How was the M3 Competition filmed?
Each panel was cleaned and sprayed with slip solution, the film was laid, shaped with heat over the curves, and squeegeed into place. The edges were wrapped so the film disappears into the panel gaps. For a bigger BMW M in satin film, see our 2024 BMW X6 M Competition in XPEL Stealth.
Step by step, this is how the M3 was done:

These stills come from the full build video further down the page, so every photo shows this exact car in our Al Quoz studio.
Why protect a new M3 Competition with PPF?
The front bumper, grille surround, bonnet and rear quarters take the most stone chips on Dubai highways. Film takes that damage instead of the paint, heals light swirl marks, and keeps the car looking new for resale.

How much does M3 Competition PPF cost in Dubai?
Full body PPF starts from AED 11,000 depending on the film, before 5% VAT. The price depends on the film and coverage you choose, and any extras such as window tint or ceramic coating. Send your car details on WhatsApp for an exact quote. See our PPF cost in Dubai guide for more.
How do you look after PPF on an M3?
Wait a few days before the first wash. Then hand wash with a pH neutral shampoo, keep pressure washer jets away from film edges, and clean off bugs and tar quickly. Light marks in the film heal with warmth.
