Night rider Black E90.

Broken1 · 03-21-2006, 03:47 PM

My tint is 20% :-)
Looks quite light on my car, because of the light interior...but it's excellent!! I've had 20% on previous cars too :-)

I had my tints done at Window Tint Center in Randburg (Opposite the old investment cars) HOWEVER. I suggest taking it somewhere else, they did a terrible job - and redid the tints 3 times!

Someone recommended Solace in roodeport for window tinting. You could just call your salesperson, and ask them where to go. BMW dealers all send their cars to the same place.

The lights were about R2100 and the spoiler was about R1800 exl painting :-)

We have the same rear now

my interior is black though. So when I get my tint it may seem darker

RGRAY · 03-22-2006, 01:29 PM

Did you consider Hamman Eyelids?

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15524

I think they would look good.

I like your wheels.

poldim · 03-22-2006, 09:50 PM

Wow man, that looks like a raised SUV and not a sports sedan...

Thank you again, but your opinion means nothing to me.

I think I will keep my sig. picture.

I like it.

I'm sorry this jerk took me off topic.

BMW0 what do you think of Hamman Eyelids?

lcharles · 03-23-2006, 02:43 AM

Broken, what was the all incl cost of the spoiler? And who did you get to install as I read elsewhere that they seem to address the "corners" lifting and I wouldn't want that to happen to me should I opt to fit.

Broken1 · 03-23-2006, 02:58 AM

The spoiler cost R1750 inc vat from BMW. I had chips away paint it (R500 incl) and they stuck it down with an automotive tape called stikkatape which is used to stick on trim and beading...INSTEAD of using glue like bmw suggests.

The tape is 0% messy, which allowed us to carefully cut it so that it goes into the corners and it seems very VERY strong. I think it was quite a good idea - but I have a free "glue fitment" card if I am unhappy within the next few months. I doubt I will be, the spoiler is rock solid!

I'm not really a fan of eyelids...and the Hamann things in this country are rediculously expensive, so it's probably not worth it IMO. :-)

I'd have to see them in person before I took the plunge anyways...

wyrm11 · 03-23-2006, 03:24 AM

Your mods are VERY classy. Love em!

Now you need some rims!

davinet78 · 03-23-2006, 04:20 AM

very nice mods

Would that be Chips Away opp Porsche SA in Randburg? Do you think they would also spray and install a AC Schnitzer front bumper for me?

For a full AC kit installed it will cost R21k. That is a bit steep for me. The rear spoiler, unfitted and unpainted alone costs R3k so your option sounds much better.

Broken1 · 03-23-2006, 06:03 AM

They would spray anything, just ask them!

It is the same chips away, but it's moved. If travelling on hendrik vervoed, past porsche center towards bryanston, it's the first robot AFTER porsche left. It will be on the right hand side.

Many thanks kind Sir.

Have you ever considered a mod chip upgrade? I enquired with Upsolute and they gave me the wrong specs so I am waiting for an update. Iam told that any mod chips are best suited to diesel .

dlk001 · 03-23-2006, 06:39 AM

Hey lcharles, how much is the AC Schnitzer front bumper, unfitted, unsprayed? Did you get a quote from JSN motors on much it would cost?

Someone reversed onto my bumper and their insurance is willing to settle R14 000 into my bank account based on Alberante Autospray’s assessment (Insurance Qoute).

I have another cash quote to repair it from Club Motors for R6000. I’m thinking; why not just get a front bumper and a spoiler like Broken1’s? Maybe, I’ll do a tint too.

I have many times. The problem is, with a diesel the turbo can blow. Turbo's work very hard up here in JHB because of the lower atmospheric pressure. Chipping the car makes the turbo work even harder...increasing the possibility of turbo failures or problems. If it's not motorplan approved, it could end up costing me more than it's worth.

AC Schnitzer offers a chip upgrade for R17 000 but whether or not it's worth it...I'm still trying to decide!
