I ask because i saw an m235 go past me when we were stuck in traffic, and according to my dealer the 235's especially in Mineral Grey are extremely rare in our area, he only knew of 2 in the area, 1 was sold by Otto's and Another by BMW of the Mainline.

Wasn't me, was at Main Line actually. Stopped in to pick something up for the convertible then commandeered an office for a conf call.

Promised more pics wasn't hoping for this one of my lovely new "mod." Wet roads + shadows + pothole = bubble.

Ain't no fixing that. New tire en route will be here Friday. Could be worse, $250 to fix and I've got the Macan to spend some quality time with while I wait.

A few more pics, hopefully with better lighting, of the debadged look as requested.

The joys of Runflat tires. The "bubble" effect. Rim will need to be inspected once tire is removed. Everytime I got one of these on my old 335i it resulted in a bent rim as well. When you get the new tire balanced that is when you find out if you will be spared the expense of a new wheel or not.

It's a Michelin super sport. I've NEVER seen a bubble like that on a non RFT. Really hope the rim is ok.

not sure how i missed this thread back in may. congrats, bem! great looking car & the mods are really nice. glad the diy worked out for you. after seeing your pics, i might debadge mine. looks great!

[soghetto]

I see you have 35% tints - is that ceramic or regular?

Im actually diggin the debadge all around

[Vlad-Miami]

What is stealth bulbs? You mean darker turn light bulbs or are they white or what?

[BEM-S4]

Thanks guys. The tint is just regular film I can call and find out what exactly if you're interested. Leased car went the low coat route.

The stealth bulb is chrome and only orange when lit, so the headlamp doesn't have that little orange spot in the corner.

Did you do the plastidip of the EZPass yourself? I don' tknow much about the process. I have EZPass and it's an eye sore. Obviously plastidip isn't impacting the effectiveness of the EZPass and it is much less distracting.

It appears you kept the chrome trim grille or have you changed it since this thread?

I did the plasti-dip of the EZPass as well. I taped off the front portion with the serial number and code just so it could be read. The entire back and sides (seen from outside the car is completely black and is not really noticeable at all. No problem with the many different style readers I have gone through with it; overhead and toll booth. A good 40 minutes of time and a few dollars to go stealth. No more white box in the window.

Ok, I know it should be obvious, and it will probably be extremely obvious when someone directs me to it, but, what does "Debadged all around" mean ?

I did the whole thing because I didn't want any white showing from front side. Removed sticker first and keep in glove box. Used 3M double sided tape on top and left edge so it's hidden by black on windshield.

Kept the chrome grille I like the highlight and that it matches the chrome in the headlamp. I bought the black ones but returned after holding them up before install.
