Yes realchef, soooooo filthy!!
But ya to answer your Q realchef, I love those window vents. I've had them on for years now. They are OEM from BMW. They are useful in the rain, you can crack your window open a bit, and when it is really hot outside since they are smoked they keep the UV rays out.

Not so filthy overall! Still looks good!:thumbup:

Thanks for the info. Been looking to get vents.

Get them! If I remember correctly they aren't expensive. And installing them is easy, they basically slide in.

Cleaned the X up:

I've had them on all three of my Xs. I think they look pretty good too.

A cheap fix to frozen door locks...

I didn't have a garage when I was living in an apartment two years ago, and my door handles were constantly frozen in the morning. I started parking my X so that the morning sun would shine on the driver's door. When I headed out to work the in morning, the door handle opened perfectly! No resistance or clicking! It worked every time. Luckily I now have a garage. During these single-digit days, I've been parking my X this way at work.

Thanks Michelle! You know later that night I searched the forum for a way to resolve the issue before going to the dealer, and I found an old thread in which you wrote the same thing about the sun, so the next day when i went to work I parked the frozen side in the sun, and after work, the problem was fixed! I won't be getting anymore car washes in this weather..
