Pics EB with Tint and Carbon Mirrors/Spoiler!!!

Carnut12 · 05-28-2014, 06:01 PM

Several people asked me to post pics when I got my tint done to see if it was too much on top of the Black Carbon pieces. I actually think it is Perfect!!!

OEM Mirror Caps and Spoiler
3M Crystalline 50% tint

I love it!!! No more mods needed IMO, at least on the Exterior.

By the way if the pics are rotated I apologize, for some reason on an I-Pad they always look right, but when I go to my laptop or desktop they are jacked up.

LOL I could've sworn the pics were posted at 90 degrees last time. He's giving our necks a challenge.

Australia, right?

rjpeaks · 05-28-2014, 08:08 PM

is gravity pulling the car down making for more wheel gap?

Carnut12 · 05-28-2014, 08:19 PM

Lol. I am assuming they aren't straight. Guess I should use my desktop when I post pics.

Not sure why it does this.

Carnut12 · 05-28-2014, 08:27 PM

See if this is better

The apps for these boards seem to screw up photo orientation with some regularity. I've seen it on every car board.

my dealer is recommending 40% tint on my black 435 'vert, but I'm thinking that's too dark; I don't have any tint on my 335 and it's 7 years old.

50% is looking better, especially since I drive a lot at night.

Your car look Great... I usually do 30-35% on the tint... But since you have black interior its got to look really nice at night!!!
Did you get the SPOILER from the DEALER?????
I'm waiting for my 4GC and I'm thinking of adding the SPOILER and the Black grille.... Hoping that the spoiler for the 4 Coupe fits the GC... otherwise I will need to wait until something is made for the GC.

I never had tints on my 335 either but going to do for the 435. I will be going with the 3M Crystalline probably 50% but want to see it in person first. If I do the windshield, it will be 70...concerned about night vision

I recently took delivery of 335xi all black interior including headliner. I got 35% tint and think it is perfect. The dealer had me look at a lot of cars that happened to be in service so I could get an idea.

If you do 50% and want darker they can do it, but it will cost ya.

I recommend 35%. Hope it helps.

(My previous e90 had tint, came with it. I thought they were too dark, probably 20%).

cwazy1 · 05-29-2014, 12:29 PM

I keep going back and fourth between getting carbon mirrors or not.. this thread isnt helping!

I got the spoiler from one of the forum vendors, I think bmwpartspros.com, I went with 50% because when they measured it with the factory tint it actually equalled about 35-38%, just above the legal limit.

I think it is perfect.
