A few changes.....
When I bought my E93 it came with tinted windows and I was never sure if I liked them or not
Well I decided I didn't yesterday when I saw an identical car with standard glass so this morning armed with a wallpaper steamer I removed the films. Took an hour from start to finish and 95% clean removal and the little residue that was left was easily cleaned off with some petrol End result which I prefer.... I much prefer being able to see in the car and the deatail of the rear window and headrests... Then to my next change. I bought some new exhaust trims from BMW and they come as a dull chrome finish. I prefer bright chrome, so off they went to a local polishing shop and the outer dull chrome finish was removed along with the copper layer then they were down to the stainless steel which was polished to a glass finish. So I now have a sparkly rear end Thats all for now. Car is just how I want it Jon

Very Shiny!!!
I love my tints. I don't think they are too dark but i guess it all depends on the mods. I hate tints on a non modded car. Looks a little off Suits your car well!!! Did you have any trouble removing the tint from the rear window? I heard sometimes the heated window lines can come off... |

They need a bit of persuasion
I put a flat blade screw driver on the inside edge at the back of the trim and tapped the screw driver with a rubber mallet. They are held in place with spring clips and they just slide over the original outlet pipes. Takes 5 mins to pop off then you can give them a proper clean or like me a polish
