Okay, I thought this was genius!!! you could basically have a jet black 135i and you could put the 3M shiny white tape then you have AW!!!

Hmmm, if your thing is robbing banks, this might be for you!

Looks very cool, and there was a 135i owner on this board that did the exact same thing (post was about 6 months ago).

I wonder how washing that car will work, and how long you can keep a shine on it. I highly doubt you could wax it, and that film is far softer than the painted finish, so I would think it would scratch, pit, and dull very quickly.

Okay...but if you wanted the black roof on A/W look....why not just get an A/W car and put black film on the roof?

That's brilliant! I had a real hard time deciding between Alpine White and Sedona Red. Now I can have both!

Or one-step better, paint the roof for $200 at a pro body shop.

LOL, robbing a bank was my first thought too.

What's that movie called? I forget

Taxi... they changed a red 760iL to blue for a robbery.

Wrong, wrong, just all wrong.

On my MINI, I have a black and white checkered roof and it is done by putting black 3m squares on the already white roof. It has held up pretty well for early 5 years and I wax it just like the rest of the car. It is not as durable as paint though and I wonder how it will work on the creases and corners.

Johnny Dangerously did that back in the 80"s "this is fargin war!!"
