Anthracite. The car is the most basic car I have ever had. I hope the light interior does not make the tint look too light.

Looking good.

Nah, it's going to look perfect. :-)

*edit - I'm sure you've seen Alan's car but I'm not certain if you know that he used Wincos as well.

Look how perfect his car looks: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=643353

Gives you a pretty good idea how you're going to look.

Thanks. What is your combo?

Carbon Black / Dakota Black / Antracite

I really wanted Nappa leather but I have a (show) dog and her nails can't be trimmed beyond a certain length for shows...lol.

My final choice came down to Imperial Blue / Cinnamon and the car which I took home.

The cinnamon leather looks drop dead gorgeous with the anthracite trim. I would have taken that car but they were using it as the 550 demo and I didn't want to order one.

Nice combo. Anthracite is the best wood option IMHO (I am not really a fan of wood in cars, I believe wood should be used in boats). I would've preferred to get the Aluminum Hexagon trim but I did not want to order the sport package after driving one with 19" run-flats in New Jersey.

There was a very nice 550 demo at Freehold as well with Nappa, sports package, etc., but I am trying to quit "driving fast" so I went with ordering a 535.

Definitely a great car until the oil leaks etc. started. Loved the 6-speed, side bolsters staggered setup. Actually loved everything about the car, but I never upgraded the body kit to the m-sport one (only regret.) Haha that car did eat tires though. But I'm extremely happy with the 535 except the high stance with the AWD- this is my first.

Huffington already mentioned this but I'm another +1 for anthracite and cinnamon brown. Got the tints today and THANK YOU to everybody that recommended the tint shop. Robert at the tint shop was great and I'm ecstatic about the 35% all around. It looks great now but I'll report back in a couple days with pictures.

I also don't have front plates and have never had front plates in any of my cars in the past 10+ years..

I haven't been stopped by any NJ local or state cops..

You've never been pulled over for anything in the past 10 years otherwise you would definitely get a ticket for not having a front license plate in NJ. I received a ticket for having a clear plastic lens cover over my license plates- NJ is tough on these sorts of things. With the illegal tinting and no front license plate I strongly recommend you never speed.

So my question is, how would it look to have the rear side windows and the rear window tinted?(You are legally allowed to use any percentage in the back here in NJ).
I really don't like the "half tinted-half clear" look that much. Has anyone seen an F10 tinted like that?

We have similar law here in Poland, and here is how mine looks with just the rear factory-tinted.

Off topic; sorry...

You have the most kick assed list of prior BMW's. I know I've remarked on this before but this ^^^ bad boy sticks out to me more than the others. I would have loved to have had this ^^^ particular BMW as a daily driver in her day. Nothing else could touch it. (((Jealous)))...

Thanks. One of the perks of being in constant contact with Germany, I guess.

Don't have any great pictures and yes the car is already dirty. Robert also "smoked" the front and rear reflectors.

Looking sharp. Congrats. I am getting mine done on 3/5.

Got the tint done by Lee Berbs. He did a great job. I love the way the car looks. I have 60% Wincos on all side windows to cut UV and IR with 20% Wincos in the back to cut night time glare additionaly.

This tint is great at blocking the heat from the sun and it is crystal clear from inside.

Lee also smoked my front side markers. I highly recommend him for all tint and clear bra installations.

I got a 20% tint on my GT and love it so far. Went to a local place called 201 Motoring and they did the job quite well.

hufington, very nice. Is that the same place that rparik01 did the tint....somewhere in Edison...the Tint Shop?

May I ask, what is the cost and how long was the entire job.

Nope, I went to Lee Berbs (although he is 40 miles from me). It took 2 1/2 hours and was a very nice and clean process. Check your PM for price.

Can you PM me that price too?

Thanks!

100% true. I have had several cars tinted over the years (every car I ever owned in fact) and Lee Berbs is by far the best I have seen with tint. He just tinted my 535 and it looks amazing!!

Lee is the man. I think mine was the first F10's he's done with Wincos (30% all around)
