1ers represented @ BMW Concours d'Elegance

Hey NW 1ers, woodman650 and I wished some of you could have made it to the show this past Sunday. Our two cars were grouped with the newer 3 series including the M3s. We were outnumbered but we held our own and believe we represented the 1er community the best we could.

I have only very few pics to share as woodman650 and I cruised around the show talking shop and trying to come up with ideas for our cars. We had a good time doing that. Maybe next year some of you will be able to join in. Would love to have you there!

Thanks for posting the pics, my car actually looks reasonably clean in them

1ers, you need to represent in the NW... I saw 4 driving around yesterday in Portland all with dealer plates! Hopefully you'll discover the forum shortly.

Yeah, wa128 both had things we needed to head out a little early for... granted we stayed for 3 hours, but it's a shame we didn't get to see you guys. Maybe another time soon

I can't give you too much info otherwise it wouldn't be unique, but I will tell you 20% tint, regular tint film, and custom cut at my local shop. Actually I think I just told you everything

Funny, I have a buddy on location in Seattle at a 3 mo project and he tells me he has seen no 1ers up there.... they are starting to pop up now in the tri-state area.

I see at least 1 128 everyday.

ahh give them time. I had a guy pull up next to me on I-5 last week in a traffic jam and we talked for a good 15 minutes with our windows rolled down about the car (as we inched along). Pretty funny actually. I still get a lot of "what is that!? It looks awesome!"

Thanks. I checked with my tint shop a few months ago. He told me I could not use typical window film (for exterior application), not to mention he wouldn't touch the project with a 15-foot poll in fear of state regulations. I'd personally like to go a bit lighter, as are my windows. I love yours but I'm too much of a *P* to risk attracting law enforcement. Had enough of that in my younger years.

But thanks for sharin'

Oops, you're right... it's not window film. It's much thicker, I would guess 2mm thick. Eh, the guys installing were young and probably didn't worry about it too much. Because I've still got a good chunk of the "cherry red" lense color required by law, I had thought it wouldn't be a big deal.
