New Owner. First detail with my Estoril Blue 2014 328xi M Sport

Go FasTA · 05-27-2014, 06:31 PM

Been lurking for a few weeks. I picked up my 2014 328xi M Sport in Estoril Blue a little over a week ago. Last weekend I got the windows tinted and then spent some time getting some Zaino on the car. So far I truly love this car, although I wish I could have found a non-x drive model or that the x drive could be had with a slightly lower suspension.

What a beauty! I have the same color so i might be biased but i never get sick of looking at it

Enjoy "detailing" it every time there is a little blemish because thats what its become for me. Bird poop everyday means car wash almost everyday hahah

I will just get this out of the way now........drop it and change out the front reflectors to blanks and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Regardless, it is beautiful, but I promise you will love it when it is done.

Nice color !!

What percentage tint did you get? I just picked up a 2014 328i M Sport in EBII with black interior and am shopping around for a tint. Not looking for anything extremely dark but want to see what's looking the best for EBII and Black interior.

zamboni · 05-27-2014, 11:58 PM

All you need is the black grille.

Looks great. From a fellow X Drive owner, I would also suggest lowering it. I plan to do the same...!

I went with 35%. I've had several cars in the past with 20% and enjoyed it, but felt it was a bit too dark at night. I decided to go a little more conservative this time and I'm glad I did. The car has a clean look and it provides plenty of the daytime benefits without sacrificing much in the evenings.

I'm really torn on this. I do really feel that cosmetically the car needs a bit of a drop, but I don't want to give up much (if any) of the ride. I've had several sports cars and muscle cars in the past with lowered/sporty suspensions and I feel like I'm ready for a car with some sporty characteristics that doesn't give up the ride. Which springs do you plan to go with? Do you plan to change shocks as well?

VMRWheels · 05-28-2014, 12:20 PM

Congrats! Nice color choice as well.

rjpeaks · 05-28-2014, 12:52 PM

What brand of tint did you get?

I plan to pay AC Shnitzer a visit. Around £600 all in incl fitting, and BMW warranty in tact.

Is this a ceramic tint or dyed? Looking at a ceramic tint 35% on my M Sport in EBII with all black interior too.

Very nice, looks so shiny.
