When the rear window of my previous 545i got busted, I took it to Rocky Mountain. The guys there were pretty cool, they let me in the back to watch the install. I highly recommend them and would have taken the E63 there as well, but the E63 was done in by another Formula One dealer in Socal. It was the first mod right after I got the E63 in OC.

Once upon a time it had chrome wheels... 'til i joined this forum :)
I used Rocky Mountain also. I think it was $275 for all five windows (Llumar) and $350 for the F1.

Well, there are standing meets most Sat mornings at Santana Row in San Jose from around 9AM. A lot of exotics show up there so you'll see cars like Porsche, Vipers, Ferraris, Lambos..etc... Once in a while, I'll organize a dinner meet at the Cajun Crab House restaurant also in San Jose near Santana Row. But it's actually been a while since I've done a big meet like in the past where we meet, go for a spirited drive and then eat..etc...
Just check the Meet & Greet Discussion forum or I'll try to PM you when something comes up.
Oh, are you going to Bimmerfest in Santa Barbara next weekend?

My Ride: 2005 545i
SPF Cobra #1019
I'm having Huper Optik installed on my "new to me" '05 545i in another week or two by the folks at the Automall Tint Specialist(http://www.automalltintfactory.com/index.html). They installed the tint in my old '03 325i and did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong tint product and had problems with the radio, etc... The Huper Optik is ceramic based, not metal based, so it won't affect interior electronics.
A couple of buddies of mine have mentioned to me about the gathering at Santana Row on Saturday mornings. Sounds like a real nice cross selection of exotics. Typically, I have breakfast with the Bay Area Cobra Club (hence my login name) in the morning, however I'd like to find some time on a Saturday to cruise over after BACC Breakfast to check out your rides.

Randy...
