That’s 600+ in profit. They probably paid 200 for the tinting or they’re did it in house. nitrogen in tires is a joke. Even if you wanted this (waste of money IMO) isn’t it like 20 per tire? Wow!

It surprises me that dealers can still get away with this.

Only f1 does nitrogen properly, sucking out all the air and filling it with nitrogen.

The nitrogen is there to get you high to swallow that stupid high bill. 😂

Its a bit ironic that BMW owners are outraged over being gouged on Nitrogen of all things.

Just because you have money does not mean you should spend it.

hahahaha

I think you failed to understand what I am saying. Let me try it another way.

If I can get air for free, I am going to do that. Or you can name it something fancy that has minimal results to give and I could spend tons of money on the item and get literally zero results.

I have had numerous Hondas that went well over 200k miles. They are great cars. In fact we still own a 2011 Honda accord that is a beater for the family.

The moral of the story is even if I was a billionaire I would not spend $200 for air.

Make no mistake about it, being a BMW owner does not mean you have cash to burn.

well maybe you do...

CHEESE AND RICE! You can buy a K-bottle of N2 for ~$350 and refill it for $35.
