Congrats man awesome X! The V8 with 19's is a good look for sure! Enjoy!:thumbup:

PS - I've had tints on every car for the past 10 years in (north) Jersey and really haven't had any issues. No limo tint on the front but 20% and I've been ok, maybe stopped once or twice in 10 years. They killed us in high-school but now that I'm an old man (32 in April) I've been ok.

Good luck and congrats once again!

Looks great, welcome to the board. You will love that V8.

Depends on percentage. I have 35% on the front and knock on wood, no stops in Bergen County. My pba card should get me out of any tint tickets anyway.

Congrats on the new truck too. I love the rims.

Holy cow, the cops are strict out there. I don't even get a second look around here. Then again, I know way too many people with 5% on all windows that rarely get pulled over for it, much less get tickets.

AndrewX5 02-21-2010 10:00 AM

Yep I have 5% all the way around and 35% on the full windshield. Cant see in at all during middle of day sun light. Love it

Nice Ride!!!! You will love your X and mostly, you will love this site :thumbup: How did you remove the emblems? I really want to remove the dealer's emblem and leave only the factory one.

AndrewX5 02-21-2010 10:15 AM

My wife removes the decals on all of our cars. Its her thing but I love it. Use a plastic card of some sorts and slowly get behind and pull off. U will need some alcohol or mild remover to get the sticky off, then wash imediately. I didnt want denatured alcohol to be on my paint for very long. Enjoy

You can use 1stE53's method or my personal favorite is dental floss followed by adhesive remover.

I had 20% when I first got my truck but I got 4 tickets within two months and they had to come off, such a painn. Cops still bother me once in awhile about having no license plate on the front but I refuse to put that on. JCAPX5, I'm 19 and commute to college so they never left me alone :(

Sounds a lot like jealousy, those cops wish they owned a BMW!!!http://www.xoutpost.com/images/icons/icon8.gif They are especially angry when they see someone so young driving one. :D They bug me for not having my front plate on the E class. Its not meant to have a big ugly square on the front of it!!!

Exactly why I don't tint my windows unwanted attention.

Congrates! and welcome. X5 V8 is a power plant with enough power to generate electricity for a small village of 500 villagers!!
