*Psuedo-Photoshoot!*

Well a week or two ago, I posted a picture of our new baby affectionately christened 'Mercedes', and promised many more to come.

So here she is, with two of her older siblings, after a good bath.

The first couple were taken around dusk, so excuse the poor lighting. Also please excuse the sand, as we're currently having the landscaping/pavers done.

Nice rides!

The sand however, is completely inexcusable, I am genuinely concerned about anyone who owns property on your block.

ps. love the 1st side monaco blue sedan (330i right?) pic, if you want one picture that will show how dynamic that color is, that's the one!

you can see it go from blue, to subtle blue, to navyish in the sun, to just plain navy, to "dude I'm looking right at it, and it's black" all in one picture.

Seriously. During the test-drive I was kinda "eh" about the color... but after seeing it in full sun, in combination with the Terra interior... I was sold!

As far as the sand... lol... well, as you can see in some of the pictures, my neighbors seem to favor SUVs and pickups (haha, in fact, I count seven different trucks, just in the pics) with the exception of the occasional Volvo, Corvette, C230, MINI, Boxster, etc. Most of 'em don't even notice, I think.

The pics look great. One quick question, how can you live in Florida and not tint your vehicles?

I actually had 5% tints (a.k.a. limo tints) all the way around on my E46, except for the windshield.

The Z4 is trickier, because I'm not sure that top-up visibility is great enough for me to risk tinting the tiny rear window... it's also pretty far back behind the seats, so I'm not sure exactly how much light is making it into the cockpit from the rear. I can't tint the windshield, so that leaves me with only tinting the two side windows... and I'm not sure how much I would like that particular look, lol.

The X3 does have tinted windows, though.

And as for the X5 and the 330i, we will get around to tinting them eventually. We haven't had them very long, and we just haven't done it yet. They'll probably get 35% tints all around (except the windshield).

That said, it IS possible to survive in Florida without tints. I just like the way they look.
