what's the usual cost to for PPF on the front end of 330i?

my window tint/ppf shop charges $1500 for xpel PPF. (front bumper, front left/right fenders, hood, two headlights, two rearview mirrors) I also get 5% off that for being an existing customer from when I had them do the xpel window tint.

is this an okay price?

Does that include paint correction before the film goes down?
If so - yes.

Overall, expect ~$500/panel, all-in.

HTH,

Make sure to include the A pillars and rocker panels.

$1500 is good for all that. The front bumper is usually $600, and the hood the same, so adding the other bits easily puts you over $1500. This is assuming they do quality work and tuck every edge.

Absolutely this. Behind the rear wheels as well.

Yeah i'd say that's a fair market price. I'd also suggest doing PPF on the B pillars. The piano black material scratches super easy and PPF keeps it looking good. You don't need paint correction before doing PPF

my xpel installer mentioned that as well.. .although he told me to base it on my my previous vehicle as well... he said if my previous car/SUV had little or no damage/chips on the fenders, mirror caps, or pillars, I probably didn't need them on the new car.(unless I change how or where I drive a lot) seems sensible.

Depends on the paint of the previous car. All cars aren't create equal. It's a good starting point, but for the price of adding PPF to those areas, better safe than sorry IMO. I mean, if you're driving a $12K Civic and can barely afford rent then skip it for sure.

Is the front fenders and hood partial or full? I wouldn't do anything partial as it leaves a line. If it's for full, I would say it's a good deal.

I recommend that you also protect the A pillars.
