2006 BMW M3

Congrats on the purchase! So I see that "Carbon Black" is really the darkest blue that ever was? Those silly Germans

It's metallic navy blue, really. That said, I put "Black" on the registration because that's what BMW calls it.

DMV was an easy process this morning, just need to take it for an inspection now.

It had tinted windows that I feared would be too dark to pass. I grabbed a razor blade yesterday morning and figured I'd see what I could do with a little patience. To my surprise, each window peeled right off in one big sheet. Some aerosol adhesive remover took the glue off easily, too. All is well, although I'm pretty sure the damn windshield is tinted, too. You can feel the ridge of tint up in the corners. So, removal of that (and subsequent cleanup) is tonight's project - then I'll find a sketchy gas station and get a sticker slapped on 'er.
