It keeps the interior more comfortable, dims heavy-handed headlights coming up from behind you both in the side and rear view mirrors, keeps the interior in better condition over a longer period of time, is good for young kids in the rear seats, and looks good. And usually costs $200-300 for a quality job.

Hope you enjoy yours!
Agreed on all points. Got mine for $179 with lifetime warranty and they were done in about 45 minutes.

In the process of doing the clutch/flywheel. Everything is torn down, just waiting on parts.

Bought a '96 E36/5 318ti so I can take the M5 off DD status.

Finally changed the oil.

Rolling on Mobil1 15w-50 synthetic now, and feel much more comfortable. Engine also quieted down, and feels a tad smoother.

Put some Royal Purple in for an incredible improvement over the Castrol gash that was in there. Also got new number plates front and rear, complete with M Power surrounds. I even finally got my parking sensors working all round. HELL YEAH!

Last Friday I overhauled the entire cooling system. Parts replaced are in the signature.

Wash/wax
Washed and waxed it today, changed the oil and filter yesterday. Also finally got the Evolve software to read my file and sent it to Evolve for a tune. I am about to go do the transmission fluid now.
