i have convinced the dealer to...

andrew 330i · 04-16-2006, 08:28 AM

leave all the interior plastics (seat covers, etc.) and cardboard in place at delivery...

i will be taking the car to the window tint (50%) company the day after delivery. they make a mess of your car with the soap and water mix... i think this should help with the protection of the interior.

and no front plate bracket of course.

~ i thought this may be an idea for others who order their cars and may be wanting to request the same.

Are you still having the car prepped at the dealer (exterior)? What about dealer stickler/emblems/frames?

andrew 330i · 04-16-2006, 10:28 AM

yes... the car will be prepped.

the dealer knows me well... 4th bmw. they know i would kill'em if they added any of the advertising crap...

50% holy crap isnt that gonna be dark?

BenMW · 04-16-2006, 11:34 AM

Good Idea.... When i got my last car tinted they sprayed that stuff all over and it stained the metal trim. Ill prolly ask for that as well.

The guy that tints my cars, 4 of them so far, has never left a trace of anything in them. You'd never know any work was done. Leaving a mess in someones vehicle from window tinting is freaking unacceptable. Go somewhere esle.

thanks for clearing that up for me. yep... i like the tint to be light... it just blocks 50% of the sunlight from the interior and adds a clean shine down the window line w/o breaking up the shine of the paint & body. the car will shine as a whole.
