BTM · 03-17-2011, 02:47 PM

I thought about getting 35% all around but wanted a way to disable the dimming in these mirrors. Any suggestions?

I do have the auto dimming. I will let you know how it is once I take it out at night. Home early yesterday and today so probably won't know unil the weekend but I will let you know. 35 is a nice % IMO. Not too dark but just enough. Honestly, this is what I though 50 would look like so I'm happy so far

But other than that I love it.

What color interior does it have?

Jet black looks amazing when clean. The only reason I didn't go with that color is because it is non-metallic. BMW paint is soft to begin with and without a metallic paint, it will show everything. If you take your time to care for the car properly, you will be fine. If you run your car through car washes and don't hand wash, def stay away from this. Those washes are bad in general but much worse with non-metallic

BTM · 03-17-2011, 03:31 PM

Black looks so good when clean just gotta keep it that way

Black Sheep · 03-17-2011, 03:31 PM

All so true...

horrible but don't let me be the basis of your decision.

I was living in madison in a garage full of soot and driving back and forth from here to there like twice a month... roads aren't very good up there after winters. i had to have paint correction constantly and it still looked like ass because of the conditions i was putting it in.

I liked it, pretty color, and if the paint on this one you're looking at is in good shape now and you treat it well with regular waxing and such it'll be fine. only thing that sucks it's literally clean for 5 min after you wash it then all the summer pollen and shit sticks right to it and shows.
