LOL, Yes they are.
Window tint on Saturday, and likely a full wrap of the front end on Monday (XPel Ultimate Paint Protection - full hood, front fenders, front bumper, headlights, and the plastic sides below the doors). |

Darn, my tint appointment isn't until the next Saturday, May 4. You know what kind of tint you're getting? Our cars are very different since mine is dark and yours is light, but I'm looking to get probably a 30% or 35%, just not sure which film yet and have to see them in person and up against the car since some of them may have weird lil blueish hues to them. Looking at lowest end option as Llumar ATC 35%, or the Llumar CTX 30% or 40%, or highest end Wincos 30% or 40%, but not sure which percentages that comes in.
I'll be posting pics before and after tint from same angles to show the dramatic difference it makes on the car, having had a 135 in the past and seen it change the entire character and look of the car. |

Getting 50% for the door windows, and 20% for the small rear side windows and the back window. There will be a slight variation in tint grade, but that's fine. My current car has that exact same tint grade. Only difference is I currently have a 5 doors (Hatch).
I may consider doing 50% for the whole sides, and 20% for the rear window, but since I'm so used to my 50%front and 20% rest, not convinced. Reason for 50% is that in Qc, they are anal about tint. The law is 70% for front side windows. Never had problems with 50%. But 35% is defitively too dark. Since you can't see the driver, you are likely to be pulled over. Going with ASFW Film. My 135i is Alpine White. |

Got the car. 400kms on it on the first 5 days.
Got TPMS warning this evening while driving back home. Checked tire pressures once home, 32psi. Pumped up, and good for now. Slow leak. Will try to get it fixed at Frisby. The screw is in the middle of the thread. Tire has not been driven flat whatsoever. That's bad luck alright! Here is a good article to read about run flats: http://www.autos.ca/health-and-safet...un-flat-tires/

Got the tire repaired at Frisby for $32 or so. Two thumbs up to Frisby!
Really enjoying the car, getting near the 1,000km, so, about to be able to opne her up Really enjoying this thing. The Premium Sound is so great, and that torque in low RPM, wow.

Looking good!
Totally not biased though as a 135is owner. I'd highly highly recommend the BMW PE too. It's everybody's favorite thing about their 135is down here in the states and then you don't have to worry about the hassle of warranty issues, etc. It is a brutal and mean sound that is intoxicating and addictive and vicious. Can't recommend enough. |

They will learn to love it. It's not that bad from INSIDE the car, but I'm in an enclosed garage and opened my door to hear it yesterday when turning it on in the morning and it was kinda loud from the echo. Your neighbors will know when you're coming and going, that's for sure.

Blackline taillights
Did anyone in Canada actually get the blackline taillights on the M Sport Edition? My car was delivered last Friday and I didn't notice until later that it doesn't have the blackline taillights.
