Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 I'm sitting in the Car Folie waiting room, while the E39 gets it's tints done I told the Mrs it makes it way better for the kids, and is much safer. I wasn't sure I could get away with telling her it makes it more fuel efficient though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1071 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 SWEET! "It makes it safer AND more fuel efficient, Sweetie" I went for the carbon, cost an extra $75, but it really cuts out the heat - I had to turn the temp on the AC up driving home, and you can see out really easy in the dark - Had to go to the shop earlier tonight, in the pissing rain! Took about 40 mins to do! I was stunned. Looks really tidy. I did remove the rear parcel tray for them though, as the fabric is a bit loose on it and I didn't want it to get knackered... of course when I removed the 3 car seat tethers, the threads stripped! Lucky the mate I'm staying with is a engineer (has a 540i Touring and E21 "race car" project). So I re-tapped them all and fitted high tensile cap screws. I pulled the fuses for the windows... but it kills the central locking. I hope the Mrs remembers not to move the windows! Shitty phone pic... I wish I'd taken it AFTER I'd washed it - covered in road grime from the drive down! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ended up having to pull all my windows out to get the residue off, was not happy. Edited April 27, 2012 by shaneg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
