I can lift stuff just fine using my legs, but if my back comes into play, I have to be very very careful.
I have a hairline crack in my 4th vertebrae... I can do 1-2 changes, but anymore and my back starts to hurt like no other :/

I Fractured my L4 and L5. SO I know what your talkign about, but sounds like yours is worse, cause I just work through the pain.

My issue isn't the pain I feel while working, it's the pain I feel the 2-3 days afterwards.

I used to change rims out on my 335i a couple of times and this is when the pain started to really show, so I went to the doctor and we found out why....
Doctor said it happened during my weight lifting days, but I had enough built back muscle back then to help support my spine. Now that i haven't been working out, my back muscles are much weaker so more stress is put on my spine...

Anyone upgraded just the stock subs under the seats? Im pretty happy with my logic 7 sound but every now and then wouldn't mind a touch more bass. Ive read mixed reviews about the aftermarket replacements but never heard them in person.

BTW Riz nice car, love the Msport.

Definitive · 07-18-2011, 01:39 PM

Hes talking about the dot matrix I think.

Havent heard one with it, but seen many installs. Pretty basic if you get all the right stuff...

We never know what he means.

Adam what your taking about to me would be described more like a rainbow effect from polarization. Only polarized tint would do this, when you are wearing polarized sunglasses. This effect is actually why I stopped wearing polarized sunglasses. Used to mess with my Nav screen in my Infinity, and some other devices I have had.

I think Riz is talking about the little dots around the border of the windows and some bad tint jobs make them way more obvious, like little bubbles.

Not sure what kind of job Hann does with these, Im sure great. But Thats why I ended up at sticker city. Ive seen a lot of people who do a horrible job on BMW's because of the dot matrix....

M_BYEEE · 07-18-2011, 01:52 PM

I know lol riz is always all over the place! I get the rainbow effect and these little dots in some tinted windows not so much dots as a pattern of circles but its only with certain types of tint. If he is talking about bubbles and air pockets I doubt any tint job thats costs more than $150 will result in bubbles.
