Had windows tinted

Hey guys,
I've been having fun making my m235i just the way I like it
This week I had my windows tinted. 35% ceramic all around, top legal in Illinois.
It really changed the look of the car. Visually it shrinks the side, which is helpful I think from an aesthetic point of view. It also is a lot cooler inside which helps with midwest summers.
Other mods I have done are Dinan Stage 1, MPE muffler hack, black front grilles with m colors, M mats, Birgersport 15mm spacers all around, switched out hexagon trim for Fine line wood trim.
Last thing to do is Dinan springs. Soon.
Everyone have fun out there!

Yeah, and why not stage two. Totally worth the difference and u don't need the boot ons to benefit

I'm gonna guess disconnecting the valve so that it's always in "loud" mode.

What part of IL are you from? I live in Collinsville! I've yet to see another m235 in person around us!

Looks good BTW! I bought mine from a guy in KC and he had 5% all around and I've yet to be messed with by the authorities.

It's the cutting open the muffler and welding up the perforated pipes mod
Sounds great, especially around 3-4k with steady throttle.

Not sure if my dealer had the stage 2 when I bought mine and had him install the dinan with delivery. I do have to check what it says on the sticker...
