Jason, congrats and good luck on your new car.. Will definitely have to see that sometime. Although I can't ride in any 335's, I'm too afraid I'll one to upgrade right after driving in one..

As for tint, I don't know what your specific interests are, but personally I don't know if I would do Huper Optik again. The price is outrageous, and you're never going to see the money again. If you are doing it for thermal reasons (if you like in Arizona or something) I could understand it more. With the amount of sun we actually do get here, I don't know if it's necessary. I think next time I might go with LLumar. It is another non-metallic film, about half the price. The thing with Huper is that on a molecular level, the ceramic is so good at what it does, that to block the light it does, the actual film is a lot lighter than other brands of film. This means the tint is much lighter. I have legal tints on my car, sometimes it doesn't even really seem like they are tinted. Whereas something like Llumar blacker, and at 35% will be darker and give you more privacy.

Just some thoughts on Huper Optik. It's a great film, just real expensive, and not that dark for a given transmission percent. If you want to look at mine anytime just let me know and we can meet up before you shell out a lot of money.. And Llumar, I've only seen in on other cars, maybe someone around here has a sample of that to look at..

What color is your interior btw? What color is everything for that matter, options, etc?

How's it going? Looking forward to hopefully meeting you and seing your car in person at one of these G2G's one day..

Seeing at how slow this forum is, I think this will be a great thread to keep conversations going, etc, rather than once every 5 months when a thread pops up in the New England forum..

So yea, we need to do some sort of meet up and cruise sort of thing. It's been boring as hell lately.

Sup, Josh? Any recent mods? Oh and I am finally signing up for BMWCCA. Which autocross events are you going to?

Would be cool to go to an event when there are some members from here there.

Crap. I was looking to have one or four, so I don't think it's going to work out..

Morning, all.

Fall is coming fast, and soon it'll be time to break out those snow tires again.

My winter setup is already back on as of last weekend..

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT's didn't list for crap.. My rears are still okay, my fronts are an absolute disaster..

Don't know what I'm going to do for my summer setup now..
