Ahh right, we talked about the tint... carbon 20 turned out great. Love the contrast. Did you do the front windshield too? No interference I presume?

WOW, OMG, Holy S**t...your E70 is drop dead gorgeous. It looks amazing. The Sport trim/kit (M pkg) is brilliant, it makes the car look so aggressive and sleek. Honestly, in the profile pictures, it looks like the E53 4.8is Super SAV! Incredible wheels, great sport kit, perfect tinting...I had white on my '08 4.8i and I now have white on my Range Rover, I'm loving white right now. For 2008, white was the #1 seller in the USA, for the first time. White dethroned silver & metallic gray & black! Honestly, one of the best looking E70s I have ever seen. It's sad though, that they mistakenly placed your steering wheel on the wrong side. Silly Bavarians, err silly Alabamans !!

Yep your new one is going to be another benchmark Rob, I hope the guys at Motorline have got a good idea what to do with this new rear skirt and new design towbar. Have you asked the guys about it yet, it might be worth their while getting some new ideas and some practice before they touch yours.

Gee every time I see the photo of your new car I start to think that I should have got one of these instead.

Nup I didnt get the front windshield done, I think its only allowable to tint the front windshield if its done at time of manufacture.

I had a look at mine this afternoon and I am not to sure if its got some sort of coloring or polarized thingo on or in the glass itself???

Has anybody seen this type of slight tint or reflectivness on an X5 winshield, maybe its an Australian modification???

Hey Bozz,
On E53's an option for a comfort windscreen was available, it sounds from your description that that's what you've got on your E70.

Yes there is a comfort windscreen option for the E70, the only problem is you cannot have it if you take the HUD option.
