There is no glare on the windows in the picture in post #301

Sweet. I moved here four years ago(Army, ended up loving it here), and was aware of the fronts, just wasn't sure on the windshield.

Originally from CA, and tint is just not allowed on the front windows.

I highly recommend the windshield - heat reduction is phenominal.

It's going to happen.

Getting a sunshade alone just doesn't do the trick. I think I can have both the tint and sunshade and it would yield fantastic results. I'm sure the tint does an amazing job keeping things cool, for sure.

What do you do about the registration and inspection stickers? You apply them after the tint or is there a cut out?

They leave a cutout.

Vectors2final · 08-25-2014, 02:58 AM

Inspection stickers should be going away soon.

Hopefully by the time I get back.

How does that look? I assume it's pretty obvious. I've been thinking about getting front windshield tint, but worried about those damn stickers we have to keep on there. I wish Texas would let us put them on the rear plate like a few other states.

Where did you order the color matched grills and who installed for you?

I want to do the same to my AY M3 when I get it, the chrome breaks up the flow of the car IMO.

September 22nd, 9:00 AM in welt cannot come soon enough!!!

Got the grill surrounds here

The dealer installed them.

Congrats on the M3 and have a great time in Europe!!

I think you just have to be a member. I don't believe there is a time limit on it. Best to check with USAA. I got a USAA $1500 discount on my car from the dealer whrn I bought it.

Picked mine up last Tuesday (8/19). Last shot is after I got windows tinted:

I had my windshield done today. The cut out is obvious, but tastefully done. Heat reduction is incredible.

This is the first time I have had windshield tint. I can't believe how incredible the heat reduction is.

Yes, I ordered my car through Classic. No, my car was not on display in the showroom. My car arrived at the dealership the afternoon of 8/18 and I took delivery on 8/19. There was a BSM/Black Leather M4 with black 19" wheels on the floor the day I picked up my car, but this was a customer car - you can see this car in the background on my first photo.

Here in Ft. Worth

Put my order in at the beginning of August.

AW with SO interior DCT M4. Production week 38.

My baby is close to being born! Pics to come once it arrives probably late Oct early Nov. I plan on BMW Performance rear spoiler, diffuser, and replacing the side mirrors. Probably going to add the CF shifter and center console too since the stock CF trim is so dinky

Any coding experts here in DFW? I would love to get my LEDs reactivated with the no dazzle feature. So cool.

I'm a software engineer(maybe this will help me lol) and plan on doing this myself as well, so hopefully once I test it out (I have the cable too), I'll let you know. I'll be picking mine up in 2 WEEKS!!!!
