New to Me

Chrism21 · 01-02-2016, 09:53 PM

Hi Everyone,

My name is Chris. I recently purchased a 2008 328i from Florence, SC. She has 101k. Black with Tan interior. I am coming from a 2005 C230 Komp. Sedan. I think this a very nice upgrade from the W203. Options that I have include the Bi-xenon headlights, Power heated front seats, and Bluetooth. This isn't my first experience with the e90 but is my first time owning one. I only plan on doing cosmetic upgrades but not performance. First on the list is to have her detailed then add tinted windows.

Not really sure

. My dad is a whole seller who buys cars from a local Honda dealer and they have an excellent detail shop, which is where I am having it detailed and they also tint windows so what ever the percentage is for new honda's.

Maybe they have different percentages, personally I would go with something around 15%-20% if you can, not too dark but looks very clean and you can still see out of it at night

It's not as dark as I was hoping but it looks a lot better from last week.
