If anyone is on WW Undine heading for Brunswick, the ship is now docked.

I have 5 more days to wait, as my car is heading for NY.

It's going to be a rough month seeing ya'll get your cars. Still excited for PCD though, and honestly feels good that I just have an end date now.

The final boss of all of us getting our cars is if we hit the tire lottery and got PS4s over the Pirellis. Let us all take a moment of silence and pray

How is visibility with 50% tint on windshield? I was considering the same but am worried about visibility at night. Also, does it obviously look tinted? Don't want the cops to pull me over too lol.

So for me this is my first car actually getting that 50% tint in the front and reason being is because now I’m in Florida. Visibility is still very good barley noticeable. I heard people said the clear film even helps with sun but I’m not sure. I’m definitely worried about being pulled over but with this nice of a car hopefully the cop likes m3 😁

Looks great! I had an Azurite Black '14 435 that's almost identical to Carbon Black (put them side by side and I couldn't see any difference).
Would love to see some pics in the sun where the blue comes out.
I switched to Tanz Blue, which is the opposite (can look almost black in some lighting conditions), for my '18 M4 and am sticking with it for my '25 M3 (that is waiting for a ship in Bremerhaven).

Why Carbon Black over Black Sapphire? I don't think I've seen Carbon Black and it looks almost identical in these photos.

Carbon black is so nice in the sun. You see a nice dark blue when the sun hits it. Can’t go wrong at all. With the ppf and ceramic coating it will look so clean
