Couple of Comments and a Question

Redlined the car for the first time today (1,202 miles) had it in DS mode and couldn't help it, the car is so damn smooth even when accelerating like crazy :rocks: .

Anybody else find it hard to actually take advantage of the performance of the car because there is always too much traffic (especially minivans and SUVs)??

Question - I notice my windows seems to have what looks like alternate bands of shading with spots in the middle. It is not noticeable when you look directly through the window only when you kind of look at it at an angle. I have not yet washed the outside of my windows and was wondering if this is just dirt or if there is some type of shading incorporated into the window?

yes, it is very hard to even tap the power and release the beast that E90s hide inside on US roads. that's why i'm kind of glad i don't have the M3 or M5, because i'd probably go crazy having to drive in 65mph speed zones or in the city stop and go...

You have to get out of the city on some rural roads where there isn't any traffic. Just be careful as the local cops often patrol these roads.

What you are seeing in the windows is natural. Typically you will only see this at an angle - generally from outside the car. You will also notice it much more if you are wearing polarized sunglasses.

These are a combinatin of the safety glass properties (which is a thin plastic film inside the glass) and the manufacturing process.

Not to worry.
