Maybe people fear that "red gets more tickets" theory a bit too much.

Nice! What % tint is on your car?

edkato · 01-18-2015, 01:51 PM

NICE...and really nice wheels.

S4NoMore · 01-18-2015, 02:12 PM

What is Performance Package? And for that matter, what's Executive Package? They sound like M option packages... is that a Canadian thing?

The wheels look good.

I did 35% all around. I actually wish it was a little darker...

I've had the car for 5 days and I've already lost track of how many people have told me how many tickets I'm going to get....

I've been driving nearly 18 years and have only been pulled over once for a Rolling stop, got a warning and that was it.

I've also owned a 2008 GTI (Red) and it was a beast to drive; that car was super fast for the size and never got a single ticket.

pazzo · 01-18-2015, 08:53 PM

2nd the "What is Performance Package"?

Nice looking and love the wheels!

I don't even own a red car and I hear it a lot, I could only imagine what you get told.

Nice build! Congrats!

You'll get more tickets because of the brand than the color.

Ditto....
I think it's just what people say when they really mean I wish I didn't drive a Car that matches my refrigerator.

P.S. I like your Black wheels.

pazzo · 01-18-2015, 09:47 PM

Looked it up on the BMW Canada Website:

Performance Pkg = Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension.

The BMW Canada site is nicer than bmwusa.com. Better interior views and other view in the build pages.

I think it looks perfect. I'm just trying to decide what % I need.

Thanks, those are my winters; for the Summers I've got the 19" alloy's the car came with.
