20% is the way to go

Chased down the oil leak and discovered that the valvetronic motor seal was leaking on my wife's car. Replaced it.

Bought my 330xi with 5% all around. Dropped the front windows to 15% and added a 5% windshield visor. Works perfectly for me

Finally got some decent wheels for the E92. Also ordered *M3 Fenders* Gasp.

OEM M220 Forged. Super light. Was going to run my M-Pars, but this is much better

not really. I see some odd polarized squares in the rear view, but only in the rear view. it's something with the auto tint mirror+tint+sunglasses.
they have made transitions glasses completely useless though. Blocks so much UV they don't work.

Hahaha but yeah holy fuck it's dumb, if you have sunglasses technically would that cause the exact same issues as having tint if we follow their logic. I hate tint laws.
if you go to a reputable shop, and have name brand film installed, thy tint film will have a batch number registered with the government for compliance.
Keep the receipt in the glove box.
and any good tint shop will have a VLT meter. They will test the windows before tint application. You lose 3-5% just through the non tinted glass. so if they test out at 4%, and they install a tint that allows 75% of the light, you will be 1% above the legal limit.

and no worries about different tint levels front and rear. I left the front windows lighter, it looks factory.

Ouch that must've made quite the noise and vibration going down the road.

Believe it or not, there was no vibration. Did have some odd tinny sounds for a couple weeks that I thought were suspension related at slow speeds when shifting, but couldn't find from where in the suspension… obviously. Lol Had a faint sound similar to a wheel bearing going bad for a few days so I got it on a lift and that was that. So yeah, very oddly no vibration.

Rear calipers and pads, front rotors and pads.
Replaced both rear abs sensors (shimmed so the hub doesn't eat them) - YAY NO MORE ABS lights.
Also soldered rear pad sensor and replaced front pad wear sensor.
Reset pad wear sensors - Odometer reset + BC button at same time to access reset menu.

Changed the Oil Filter Housing Gasket on my 165k mile '07 328.

Way easier than I predicted.

Changed the cabin air filter.

ABS, DSC, AIR BAG, BRAKE.
No speedometer, no cruise control.

I kept replacing right (cruise control) and left (speedometer) rear speed sensors but it took a while to realize the sensor was being ground down by the portion of the hub the sensor reads.

I finally got a good set of sensors and shimmed them using large washers.
