Haven't posted much here but I so far love the community.

I did a full detail today but sadly didn't take a picture

What percentage do you recommend for tint? I want to be able to see through it at night but not super visible during the day if you know what I mean.

Car picture tax ofc

What have I done?
I bought a 2013 335ix parked it, put it on jack stands and now, correcting the years of neglect.
- Rear pads
- Front shocks with Bilsteins B4
- OFHG
- Bootmod3
- Air filter
- Brake fluid change
- Oil change
- Valve cover gasket
- Snow tires
- Belt, tensioner, idler pulley

I am dying to drive it... One day I need to buy a new BMW to see how it feels not to fix them...

Installed the Lighting Door Sills.
I choose the ones from aliexpress to try, but will install the originals later.
Fitment is ok, quality less, but ok.
Light are just 2 leds on each end so no smooth light distribution in the middle.

The originals have evenly distributed light.

I just painted all my calipers a flat blue and they came out awesome. I also did a fresh brake flush while I was reinstalling the calipers. I painted my 666m reps gunmetal to change up the look and they came out better then I hoped they would. I'm doing a wheel stud conversion so I'll swap the 666m reps back on when I install the studs. I think I might paint my black wheels a different color as well. Maybe a dark bronze. Any color recommendations for colors?

Close I used super wrap. If you don't know of it its vinyl based and comes in a ton of mettalic colors and looks like paint. I will just have to wait and see how durable it is but it's supposedly pretty solid. I actually got the wheels from a vendor on hear known as oemconcepts. He is located in Canada.

yes as in you can peel it off. Its vinyl based which makes it able to come in a ton of gloss and metallic colors that look like paint.

I had my 2014 335i towed to my shop, after buying it in November, where it will be getting a new transmission installed tomorrow after mine failed. Great luck so far.
