I had the same problem... I wish i had paid the extra money and did it at the dealership. I took it twice and seeing how much the guy struggled with it, I am not taking it back for a third time. The imperfections are very small [even though i am **** about this things]... I will only take it back if I see bubbles. BTW, along with mine, i had 2 of my buddies that did their e90s at the same shop. Theirs came out perfect... so these cars are pretty hard to tint i guess cuz it's hard to reach all the corners... anyways good luck

The dealership did my tint and I don't like it. I had to take it back once already and still not satisfy. There're some small bubles on the tint I think dealer don't tint your car, they have a contractor to do it.

Well my dad isnt talking anymore since he rather thinks I should buy an apartment instead lol! Yeah..... he loves me so much lol!
And I decided to GET IT FULLY LOADED!

I mean Nav,ML,PCS,IPA,Headlamp washers, NO SPOILER, maybe XM radio (undecided),
Glacier Frost Mica with Black interior, and dealer asked for 48K for everything, I put down 11K and currently working in a very good paying job. Yeah I tend to keep this car for 5 years then see what happen then. And if I have the time get newer rims on it. but tint for for sure!

It was either that or White, I've only seen white,silver,blk, and red IS's. The dealer was saying "blah blah blah blah" just so they could see one as well. As for the waiting, actually they havent told me yet. Its all good, mean while I should start saving every penny lol!

do you mean the drls or the parking lights? the drls are easy..just like changing a regular bulb..but it was a little tricky to get the drivers side out because its pretty cramped (it even says in the manual that you can change the drls yourself). as for the parking lights i had my shop do them when they put in my hid kit
