On my test drive if you keep it in first or second tooling around at about 3k then yeah no issues.

One of the advantages to having a spare car is that you can take as long as you want to work on it. One of the disadvantages, however, is that you can take as long as you want.

The full detailing process took maybe 8-10 hours total, but it was spread over weeks. The end result? Now I know just how sandblasted the front of my car really looks. But she shines up okay, anyway.

Clears are OE on the M3, period. And tint is more comfortable and good for the interior.

Nick is correct on all accounts.

You guys are nuts. The tint and clears look great.

And I'm generally not a fan of clears.

I like the tint, the clears and the blacked out kidneys.

I'm still toying with the idea of selling @41400 miles. Just went on BaT, so many auctions going on at the same time. I don't think it's a great time to be a seller. When there are a thousand unicorns out there, are they still unicorns, even if different from each other?
