mods thus far:

-35% tint all around
-IND painted reflectors (front & rear)
-IND gloss black grill
-IND gloss black side gils

Its really amazing what these minor cosmetic mods have been able to do for the car... can't wait for a few more goodies

Beautiful shots!

Is that really 35% tint? Looks lighter than that, perhaps it's just your pictures though. I'm thinking of doing either 30 or 35

Yep, its 35% all the way around. Obviously it looks different in different lighting situations.

I highly recommend the 35%... you won't get pulled over for it being too dark, yet it still adds a nice dark tint without it being over-bearing.

So hard to pick my fav. F8X color. SO is one of those colors that I either love or only ok with depending on what lighting it in. I prefer it when its in the shade where it looks more red. In the sun it looks more copper orange which looks ok.

Wait until you see the pumpkin in it, made my choice very hard.

shainblm · 02-07-2015, 02:09 PM

I am stuck between SO and Tanzanite blue... help me decide. If both colors were the same price what would you chose?????
I can still change my order but not for much longer.

psuibmw · 02-07-2015, 02:11 PM

I'm hearing SO is not available on the M3 as a standard availability color ... Confirmation anyone?

This is easy for me, and not because I have SO...I am simply not a dark color person anymore. I had a BR 335, and it showed the dirt ALL the time. I like the TB, but when I see it, I just imagine having to wash it all the time to keep it looking good. Purely personal opinion, but I love the look of SO on the M3.

It is a standard metallic color for the M3.

Interesting! Still available on the M4 though.

psuibmw · 02-07-2015, 07:08 PM

Sad ... it is really a great color if not the best on the M3/4

saturday afternoon drive along skyline blvd in the sf bay area.

shainblm · 02-07-2015, 10:12 PM

I was always a dark color car person and my last 2 have been lighter and trying to decide if I want to go back but I love the contrast between the cf roof and the SO better than the TB. Both are great though!

I ordered my m3 with SO but it hasn't started production yet (probably next week). Will I get SO or am I going to have to change/pay more

I bet if your order is locked in you're good to go.

XPEL is great...yes you can wax it just like the remainder of the car. Another thing I like about the XPEL is that things clean off it very easily, like bugs.

I probably would not have done the XPEL if I had leased. I'm planning on keeping mine for a long time.
