Nah BMW used to have separate temperature "control" for the dash vents. So you could have the heat on but make sure the air coming from the top vents wasn't going to suffocate you,

I've used it in an E46 before. It's a godsend. My S4 does it in auto mode as well.

You'll figure it out when you have the defrost on max heat and are looking for salvation from the warm air clogging your airways.

35% tint and sidemarkers done.

PPF guy wants to redo the roof because of the few bubbles and the edge peeling up a bit.

So the side-markers are just body color now? :notbad: the color match is really good!

Man that tint looks almost non existent ! I like it

Yeah, no more whorange markers ahead of the front wheels. I should’ve taken a pic with the front in the sun but the color match is spot on.

They didn’t have 40% but my tint shop switched from llumar to xpel. Went with XR plus. Hopefully the po-po don’t pull me over.

That’s one of the first things I googled. Can confirm the only setting you want it on is cool. When it’s turned up it feels like exhaust breathing on me.

That and I couldn’t fit my for sale signs in without putting down the seats and it took me forever to find the release for the rear seats.

I do like my tint, thanks melon!

So I can’t help but laugh at some of these “mods” that are available for this car and I came across this one.

$900 carbon fiber brake duct shields. Who in the fuck is dropping nearly a grand on carbon fiber dust shields? And if you actually track the car, aren’t you supposed to remove the dust shields anyway?
