Im also thinking about getting camber adjusters and running no camber and making custom wider fenders to fit a full size when the time comes also. But i do only get rub when im turning quick or the fenders are tucking, other then that normal street driving is fine.

(functional race car status) will be more fun that way hahah
Sweet ride man, love that color!

Have you tried shaving/trimming the rear fenders, then rolling slightly? Trimming of the fenders helped me gain another 3-5mm of clearance back there.

No rear tint and silly stickers would drastically improve the look of this car. Hate the funny-guy look of zainy colors but aside from that the car looks really cool.

thanks! and yeah i actually never thought about doing that i may actually try it haha thanks for the tip! I still want to run a bigger tire in the rear so i may just widen the rear fenders but will probably shave it down in the mean time.

Is it the actual glass?? If its just film tint, its pretty easy to remove if you have a heat gun and a razor blade.

The people at bmw told me it was and ive tryed to mess with it a little and either its the glass or someone did an amazing job tinting it haha. I have to go to a tint place soon and see if it really is or not.

To help you out with the tint, higher quality tint like formula one, 3m, ect, will come off easier then cheaper dyed tint. Cheaper tint won't want to peal off, depending on how long its been on, it will have baked on and flake off when trying to remove it which is a huge pain. BMW might of noticed it was gonna flake off and decided it wasn't worth the hours of work it get it off.

All you need is a heat gut, a ton of razor blades, and light detergent soap like baby soap mixed with warm water. Heat up the glass, peel off the film and then spray on the water soap mixture and only use sharp blades to scape off the adhesive. You can't do this for the rear window because of the defroster lines, I'd recommend taking it to a shop to get that removed, unless you have a steam gun. Hope this helps.

The rear window actually isnt that bad. I recently removed the tint from my car. I heated the windows from the outside then took my time peeling it off from the corners while continuing to lightly heat the tint. On the rear and 3 windows i removed it all with 0 residue. Glass cleaner and a rag and i was all done!

"The old lady" hit you because she was jealous of those CCW's... VERY VERY NICE!!! (insert Borat voice in here). The color combo isn't for everyone for sure, but looks awesome on there, congrats!

Those offsets are crazy... looks awesome, but yeah, for track stuff, you'll definitely need to run some wheels about 15-20mm more inboard, but you probably know that already
