50% rear, 25% front.

I just picked mine up Friday night and I can tell people stare at this car. People driving next to you will look inside to see who is driving and parking at Starbucks will generate some attention too.

That's what I am planning to do...I was thing 35% or 40%. Probably isnt much different...any thoughts?

I had a hard time choosing between YMB & SO.
I'm happy, no regrets. I think its a great color to have in the desert.
The car really shows how the color changes based on lighting.
Yes, does grab lots of attention.

Looks great from your signature. CAn you post some more pics with the tints? I would likely also go 35%.

ill be doing 50% up front and 35% on rear window and back doors

I gotten tons of positive attention and a couple of "not so sure" opinions, which it's fine by me, its my car, but a funny one I think was few nights ago I order take out from Applebee's and when the girl came out with the food she said "OMG, is this one of those wrapped cars?" I lol and just replied "no honey, it's actual factory paint".

I can never decide if it goes better with the black or silver wheels.

Too bad the levels are adjusted. Nice photo but not an accurate representation of what your eyes will see.

This is true! The second one is true to how the color looks at night though. Here's one I took during the day....

[chillindrdude]

had some kid hang his entire upper body waist up out the window of a moving honda or something JDM, to snap photos/video as i was driving to a C&C.

(it turns out he was going there also)

Here's "my personal" take on that matter. Black wheels if you're going with black interior and CF roof, silver wheels if going Silverstone interior.

i went with black since i went all black on interior.

yea i always go back and forth on which wheels suit it better.. if BMW made the wheel design ugly then i would definitely go with black but the 437M is a great wheel design and silver gives it justice

Black on silverstone with black wheels, though you can't tell with the tint. I am removing it though so long as my guy is confident he can remove it from the rear window properly.

Edit: realizing now this photo doesn't mean anything bc top half of car is covered in white. Can't upload new photo from app.
