Does anyone know what % of tint the rear half of the M35 has?

Interested in going darker. Does anyone know if QLD has a clause like NSW allowing you to go darker if the car is used for commercial purposes? The car modification PDF does't say so.

Don't know exactly, but I had my fronts done in 20% to match the rears.

Apart from a slight difference in colour, it's almost impossible to spot, other than in full sun.

I wouldn't want to go much darker, to be honest, it's sometimes diffcult at night as it is.

Technically its not actually tint, which is why the stageas have no problems passing rego even with the dark rear screen etc.

They call it "privacy glass".

I'm not sure of the legalities on tint though...never looked into it.

Damn. I need the backs even darker than they are. I might just get it done. I don't really care about seeing out the back - I've got mirrors :down:

knobs keep riling my dog up every time I leave my car. I left it for 5 minutes the other day and some tradie thought it'd be funny to tap on my window...

Let the dog out next time, see how funny he thinks it is then... Hate it when people can't keep their hands to themselves.

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 馃槄   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
