I think you definitely rushed the tinting part. No way can it look that bad if you had the patience for it with those creases. The debadge looks clean but can't really tell with no closeup shots of it debadged. I say try again with the film. Did you heat it up to make it stretch a bit more? I'm not going for the clean debadge approach with my upcoming 528. I'm going with the black emblem which I order from JLevis.



And lastly, this nonsense about people having prblms with others debadging lower end model cars is ridiculous. It's a BMW. Get over it people about debadging on the lower models. At this rate, people with 530/535 should stop as well since that isn't a top of the line 5 series neither. I bet my comment right there got some people mad. Final note, do whatever the hell you want to do with your car. Don't worry about any haters on there. If you want to be different, get yourself A G5 Jet. I see people question me why even bother hooking up a BMW because it's a luxury sedan and not a civic and I think valid points were made. But heck, its my car!
