My M3 vert is due in June. I assume that BMW also will do the tint but I have no idea of price and quality differences. Did you check into it?
sungard is the brand of tint film. i have had the trim blacked out with vinyl (see my thread http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=370390)

BMW doesn't do tinting, they outsource it to a 3rd party, might as well go to the 3rd party yourself, unless you like funding your local dealer.

Are those standard OEM 18" rims? It looks like you've refinished them. They almost look like chrome shadow.

BMW knock-off replicas in hyperblack for the winter, they are in the euro m3 spoke pattern, as the spokes aren't tapered like the north american ones

Thanks. I thought they might have been the 2011 rims but didn't quite look like the other pics I've seen. I do like the hyperblack/black chrome/whatever-they-call-it finish; it's like the finish on the E46 M3 18" rims.


Cheers.

how have you guys all tackled the dot matrix on the back window? glue or sanding? which is the best method do you guys think?

I had my rear tints at the most reputable tinting company in london and the rear windscreen looks disgraceful at the top cos its simply is NOT sticking (this is without sanding or glue)!!
