i'll just give a few comments. Window tints, yes I have 35% and it's nice and subtle. I have black interior so I am not sure how it would look like with red. Spacers, yes if you don't plan on getting aftermarket wheels. Not sure how wide you need them my guess is anywhere between 12-15mm? Since it is a lease, I myself would keep it simple and easily reversible.

Congrats and welcome
I would probably say 35% is nice because you want to see your interior. I have rpi scoops as opposed to cyba. A little cosmetic difference, but the same thing. I like mine for cosmetic purposes. imo i think debadging looks cleaner. With coding you can do a lot of things. some examples are close your side mirrors (for earlier cars like mine), turn off the seatbelt chime, and some other neat tricks. Car looks clean.

You car is fine as is, Its very clean and I wouldn't ruin it with a bunch of crap, IF it were mine...
Debadge the 328 from the rear Tint, ( I prefer dark so personally would go with 15% all around) Bmw Performance Exhaust and be done with it...id take that M fast sticker off the side too, looks lame and out of place. This about sums it up start at 1.25 |

but I don't want to pay a thousand dollars for an exhaust for a car on a lease. Anything else that's cheaper and worthy of buying? Again, I don't care about performance. I only care about sound and design. |

so here are the updated pics after tint and brought home...
Red interior is visible up close, but not really from far away or back window. Obviously front window is not tinted, so can see red perfectly from there. |

few more things please...
SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME BEST PRICES!!! 1. Spacers - friend offered me his used spacers for $80. They are H&R 15mm. He says only put on back wheels. front is dangerous and I don't need it? 2. HID fog lights - I want them to match my front lights as much as possible. I don't want them to be sooo bright to blind drivers, but I want them strong and white for day and night time use. 3. Exhaust - Again, I do not care about performance at all! All I care about aesthetics and sound. I want a nice aggressive sound. Nothing that sounds dirty. Something clean and unique sounding. I want to keep my car clean, and besides what I have done and ^^^ I think I am done. Anything missing? Comments? Opinions? Thanks! |

On the spacers 10s/12s is probably a good way to go. Many runs 15s in the back but you can get a little rubbing with them on large bumps.

Dont you dare think about putting a front lip on that gorgeous M sport front end! I think your car is fine the way it is now, and i know you dont want to spend the money on the bmw performance exhaust, BUT its well worth the money in every way shape and form. Plus keep your old exhaust for when you trade it back in and sell the PE...makes logical sense. I mean how long is the lease? 24? 36? either way your with the car for a cpl of years. I GUARANTEE that after you get the PE put on and its broken in you wont give 2 shits about the money you spent...

regarding PE, I'm not really a crazy car fanatic, just want it to sound aggressive. my friend knows someone who can install something for $200 everything included. so idk. is it really worth paying $1,451.15 for the BMW OEM PE?! if i bought car, for sure yes. I got 2 years on lease left from january. but then how easily can i sell it for? any videos or reviews or recordings of it on an 2011 e92? thanks! below is the link for the exhaust... http://www.shopbmwusa.com/ProductDet...edium=referral Last edited by pn_e92; 09-06-2011 at 07:59 PM.. Reason: corrected BMW PE price |
