Carbon ones are easier to cover imperfections on clear coat, black ones are a nightmare, we can see every single imperfection. I just hope there is somewhere a company that takes quality over quantity in consideration. I don’t mind to pay a bit more if I know I will get a qualitative product.
I think in the current market no matter who you buy from it's coming from china doubt any of the companies are actually making stuff. Just gotta hope whoever you are getting it from has good contacts to get good examples.

If you use Bimmerpost phone app you have to download the picture to actually see the gif movement.

I don’t care if others are doing or not, I don’t see this here in the streets.
What pisses me if is that people stick on the left lane with 2 others free and if you overtake on the right you can be severely punished.
I thought a lot about this before installed it.

Another reason is in Germany you don’t have speed limit and usually you get some scary drivers. Imagine you traveling at 200+ and someone thinks he can overtake at 80 just because.

If I could share my dashcam content with such situations you would be surprised how people behave and how dangerous they are speacially at night.

Not trying to sell my opinion. I would prefer not to have this. That’s why I put it all blacked out.

I think we should have a sub tread called, “what did you do to knock 10 grand of the value of your car?”.
