Welcome! Sounds like my story too.
School-married-house-baby-late model 2011 335 xDrive.

I love it. Total animal of a car.
I've got my Cobb AP3 in the mail.

Tinted windows already and got Alpina TCU flash.

I had Xpel installed on the bumper, hood (about half way up from the front), headlights, and mirrors. This was done right after I bought the car new in 2006, and it held up very well until the day I sold it just a few weeks ago. I think I paid about $1,000 for the whole deal, but I think it was well worth it.

My prior 5 series didn't have anything to protect it and I ended up have the dark blue hood repainted because of all the chips in it. PA highways tend to take a toll on your painted surfaces, as well as your suspension.
