Greetings everyone! I picked up a 2010 Alpine White w/ Fox Red interior about 2 months ago!! I love driving more every day - something I have never been able to say! Found the car used with 10k miles in mint condition at a Toyota dealer...a nurse traded it in for a Prius...
![]() Anyways - a few pics are attached. The side profile shows tinted windows...that is photoshopped - I am still deciding on whether or not I want to tint and used this to show me what it would look like. I am also into photography and the last pic was me making my car look even more badass ![]() Blog post with pic and some words about the M3 being a wild animal: http://andybuckner.com/2012/06/07/pure-performance/ |

Nice Ride! Seems like you got a healthy one if a nurse drove it before trading it in, and for a Prius you might just assume she didn't rag on it!

Mods?
BTW - I am getting the OEM black grille this Friday. Will get body color side markers after that. EVENTUALLY will get wheels - but being so new, everything is pretty much perfect to me as is!

Had BMW check the VIN before I bought it - all records look clean. Same week I bought it I took in to dealer for a general inspection and everything checked out perfectly - they told me I scored on my find. I was casually looking for this exact combo in perfect condition for probably 1.5 years...then I found it... and here I am!

I have always been a tint guy, but now it just doesn't seem right for some reason. Plus I love looking in from the outside and seeing my beautiful Fox red chilling. So - I agree with you. I may just do a clear tint for the UV protection. I have a local place that does great work and does high-end cars regularly.

Nice find! Love that last pic, it really accentuates the aggressive lines beautifully. If you're on the fence about a tint, I'd recommend 50%. It's very clean, classy looking. 35% is sportier, adds a little more of an aggressive look. I personally wouldn't go any darker.

I do like how cool the UV protection on tint keeps the interior of the car though. Night and Day difference on previous vehicles. Even if I stay 'no tint' I may still get a UV film. |

I was in a loaner car last week, 328i. Aside from the obvious differences, I really missed my tinted windows. The temp was in the 80's here. So I can only imagine how much a difference it would make for you in SoCal.

I was using a Nikon D7000 and a Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lens for all the pics.
One more pic...can't forget about that sexy big booty! |
