Where the hell do you live in FL? You must live out in the Boondocks somewhere.

I've been in FL for 6 years now and I've had tint on every one of my cars. 99.99% of the cars down here have "illegal" tint, including the cops.

With the amount of heat and sunshine we get, tint is more than just a cosmetic, it's a necessity.

Yeah I pay about $530 every 6 months.

trust me ive got tint...this happened on my benz that i just got rid of...i had 5% all around. Got pulled over, the cop said i can fix it and take it all off and only pay 10 for each ticket, OR i can keep it on there pay the 120 for each ticket...so being the stubborn asshole that i am i said screw it and paid the 240 to keep the tint on. NOT knowing that my insurance would go up for it. I fought and fought but my rep had no le way. and actually my total for the year i just looked is 2562 a yr. I got the 3800 for the difference in what my payment had gone up for the remainder of my renewl. Just messed up on some #'s

Wow thats crazy.. In NJ tint tickets dont affect your insurace. I got two tint tickets and both were in little shitty bumblefuck towns but my insurace was not affected.

damn your lucky, i think it made mine go up about 400/yr if i remember....all i know was i was sooo pissed. If u run my DL # or my tag it will show up on both...like im some sort of criminal. "operating vehicle in unsafe condition", u had thought i was swerving all over the damn street or some shit...when all i was trying to do was block the heat...lol


*Chriztofor, u and i have the same car...how much are you paying. ballpark? how old are u?

[CollinsE90]

make good grades, take driving school, ways you get discounts...i watched(never did) the little video when i turned 16 my insurance people gave me in order to get mine cheaper

[benzo23]

took the driving school already, mandatory from the court for my speeding ticket.... had all that wiped away...

wow...i dont really have much else to say...lol

[BoxerGT2.5]

1. I'd never hand my kid a brand new anything let alone a 335.

2. $2600 per year for insurance on a single car with 2 window tint tickets doesn't add up. Either someone has a crap load more tickets in the past, they've cracked up a few cars in their day, or have had a DUI.

[cdmst6]

Man some of you guys' insurance rates are high as sh!t. I pay 606 / 6 months through Nationwide. I didn't think that tint would affect your insurance rate, but I guess it is different in every state.

[fdriller9]

Idk about in Canada, but in the US being a new teenage, male driver will make insurance more. I'm currently paying close to 10k per year with 5 points on my license and speeding tickets with more than 30 over for each.

[Chriztofor]

^ 10k a year?! You need to take a cab!

[Me_Hi]

well, to be 15 and get a new BMW ? That can only mean his parents are rich and he is probably well educated in a private institution. I drove a 10 years old camry when I was 18.

Ohh and btw I'm 20. I got the tickets when I was 17 and 18.

[Tylerstar]

Theres no way tint tickets make your insurance go up because that is not a moving violation.

Dude, you need to shop around man... unless you have horrible credit or live in a high-risk area, you should not be paying that much.

When I was 23, under my own plan, with $500 deductible and VERY high coverage (including 2x limits for underinsured property/liability), I was paying $900-$1000 per year. Even cheaper now since I'm 24 If I didn't opt for so much coverage and extras, I would've gotten it down to $700 per year easy.

Could be that I'm insuring a 328i vs a 335i but double the price? Yikes

Damn in just a few seconds I turned an insurance thread into laying down the ground work for the invasion of Canada. I’ll call it “Operation: IcyHot aka Case White Part II: Ice Blitz ”

Your ignorance is quite revealing. Actually, I wasn't aware that Washington DC was part of Canada - nor was I was aware that I am Canadian.

BTW - you might want to check your spelling and grammar - it is truly a sad day when a foreigner (the OP) speaking a second language has better grammar and spelling than you.

[ABSAUTOBODY]

guaranteed your gonna speed the living shit out of the 335i regardless, your insurance is gonna be high by just putting your name down. Man you're one lucky bastard.
