Looks great! What percent tint did you go with. It matches perfectly.

Thanks! It's 30 percent ceramic tint, not certain of the brand. The law in Florida requires nothing darker than 28 percent on those windows, so 30 percent is typically the best you can do if you want to stay legal.

The shop offered me the (technically illegal) 20 percent variety, but I don't need that aggravation and always opt for the 30 percent.

It's a tad lighter than the rest of the OEM tinting, but more than adequate, even here in Florida.

I love this! Mine will be this exact car when I pick it up in April and get fronts tinted! I love those wheels esp on the Dune Grey. I can’t wait for mine. Enjoy it!

@Dcioni: Glad to hear that. Maybe we can have a reunion.

I was shocked to find this spec on our local dealer’s lot. Generally, around here, unless you order, you can get any color you want so long as it’s black, black or graphite (also black). And they rarely spec leather.

Saw it hit inventory Friday and worked out the contours of a deal by phone, text and email. (We’ve bought many cars there previously.) Went to check it out Saturday morning. Had the guy hide the keys while my wife and I discussed it over lunch. Went back. Drove it home Saturday evening.

We’ve had two 5 series, a 4 series ‘vert, two 850s, an X4, an X6 and an iX M60. But this one…the more I see it and drive it, it just really…fits. You’re gonna love it.

Sounds great. You’re so right.. so surprised that build was sitting on a lot! Enjoy it—

By the way, without seeing that you’re from Poland, I could easily tell the parking lot was located somewhere in Europe. If that were anywhere in the USA, it would be an ordinary black asphalt parking lot. You guys in Europe usually spend a little extra money to get something creative and aesthetically pleasing, just like that engineered slab with slots. I wish we had parking lots like that in the USA.
