How much vinyl wrap is needed for a BMW 3 Series or M3?

A full wrap for a BMW 3 Series or M3 (G80/F80) requires 55 to 60 linear feet of 5ft wide vinyl (220-230 sq ft).

Do you have to remove the G80 M3 front bumper to wrap it?

Removing the front bumper is highly recommended on G80/G82 M models to wrap seamlessly around the deep kidney grille recesses.
