Re: E90 newbie driver: Fatcheek

hello marcus! glad that u asked the question and with so much good responses.

I have a question: according to PML guy, tinting the windows reduces the sensitivity of the 'key' to unlock the doors, how much can i believe it? cos u mentioned abt wondow tinting...

Re: E90 newbie driver: Fatcheek

Shit!!! I just installed window tinting yesterday... no wonder after the installation, remote key response distance got shorten by quite alot. Initially, i thought it was due to E90 key running of out battery.

Is there any solution to this?
Of course i dont want to remove my Money Paid window tinting....

One more defect i discovered in my E90, the wiring in rear view mirror sensor was not routed properly, which is cause the black plastic cover attachment unable to cover up fully.

Any E90 faces similar problem?

Rdgs,
Fatcheek

OZ rims (18" staggered) cost approx 3k with Yoko Advan Sport tires... Try to go for PS2 tires instead.. Yoko Advan Sport very noisy...

K&N drop in approx $125.

After changing from E90 original rims with run flat tires to OZ rims, my fuel consumption improve and the pick up feels quicker.. it is up to your own preference, just go down to the Tyre shop and as for a quote.
