I hate window tint...

The PO had that purplish window tint in the rear 1/4 and back windows. I've owned the car for two months, so it was getting to the point that I either remove it or be forced to claim it as my own, by default.

Many razor blades, paper towels, %&$@*%, and hours later it is finally all gone.

I haven't spent that much time in the back seat of a car since I was a teenager on a date.

I got this advice from a friend that tints for a living. Spray window with water and put a layer of black garbage bag over the area. Leave it in the hot sun for 30 min. It will peel off with no problems. A heat gun usually works better than razor blades too. No help now but for next time.....

Almost... Add ammonia to the water. Mos' def' on the garbage bags. Success ratio (for me) is 50%. Yes, the ammonia will make you want to gag and will water your eyes, but it breaks down the window tint glue.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
