Coming from E46 M3 ZCP, our 2012 750Li is completely different animal.
Here's a picture of the 750Li
Here are the specs:
2012 750Li xDrive
20,500miles
MPackage
Every Option minus night vision
30% tint all the way around
50% on windshield
Valentine 1
Mtec AE led
Front bumper orange reflector tinted
Look forward to sharing and learning about the F02. Cheers
E46 m3 is a great car! What year is yours? Mine was a 2006 January production one of last builds. If I can come across another one with low miles I'm snatching it up.
F02 is much more comfortable and wife friendly car. Haha

Thank you for the welcome. Current mods were must haves, OEM AE made me want to take the car back and get a '13 but the deal was too good for such low miles. Windshield tint I highly recommend to anyone who doesn't have it done.
How much gains in the BMS tuning? Next mods are h&r springs and spacers. Possibly the quad exhaust tips.

I agree, not sure why almost no one tints their windshield. Biggest piece of glass at the greatest angle letting in the most heat. All my vehicles have the windshields tinted, cuts down on the heat significantly.
So many things in california are illegal that the state has essentially diluted the value of the law. If side and rear view window tinting hindered vision so much, they wouldn't allow their own police force to do it.
There is a specific exception in the law for law enforcement vehicles.
I worry about someone with heavily tinted windows not being able to see me or my black lab in the dark. But, fix-it tickets are given out like candy here in San Mateo so I don't see too many.
Do they usually put the front window tint on the outside of the windshield, or on the inside as on other panels?
Black labs are pretty stealthy. Guess you gotta give those beasts some reflective dog clothing to keep them safe from even non-tinted vehicles. My pedestrian detection night vision will pick em up though. Gives me a little deer symbol when it sees four legged heat signatures.
Windshield tint is put on inside just like other panels. It's not only blocks UV and keeps are cool and interior protected. I need it to keep glare down at night driving. Also helps a lot in the rain, you don't get the glare from incoming headlights.
Side note: dropped off the car at the dealer about having my key programed to remotely put the windows up. They told me each vehicle is different and my car may not be able to to do such thing. I didn't buy into that and told them I had it even in my 06 M3. They decided to keep the car till Monday. It would help a bunch if you guys can post videos of your F02 remotely putting windows up and closing your boots lids. Thank you
Surprised your dealer will even do that for you. Mine wouldn't even code off the auto start-stop on my 7. Here's the code changes for trunk, mirrors+windows.
- Enable key fob and driver side door handle to close the trunk (requires powered trunk)
HKFM => 3010 => TASTER_FBD => aktiv HKFM => 3010 => SCH_TOEHKI => aktiv HKFM => 3010 => SCH_FBD => aktiv
- Enable key fob and driver side door handle to fold mirrors* and close windows and moon roof
CAS => 3003 => KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_FB => aktiv
CAS => 3003 => KOMFORTSCHLIESSUNG_PA => aktiv
FRM => 3020 => ASP_BEIKLAPPEN_BEI_KOMFORTSCHLIESSEN => aktiv
* To change mirror fold delay
CAS -> 3003 -> KMFRT_SCHLIESSEN => Werte= 05 for 0.5 sec, 0A for 1 sec, 0F for 1.5 sec
