I said no, and organised my own tinting ($275), Opti-Coat ($499, google it), and a packet of leather wipes ($5).

The Opti-Coat and wipes were at the recommendation of Kim from Detail Evolution here in Brisbane. Save yourself the money, spend it on something worthwhile.

Edit - the Opti-Coat also has lifetime paintwork warranty.
Thanks for your replay swallowtail, I checked on the Opti-Coat, the only authorized applicator here in WA charges $1100 to $1250 depends on how many coats: http://www.freedomcarcare.com.au/special%20services.htm (I guess X3 is not a small car and not a sedan, it must fall into the large car category). The price hits up to $1850 if include leather treatment.

It is cheaper than the one BMW offered, but still much more expensive than what you have paid. I guess Perth is such an isolated place and there is only one authorized applicator, the price will be sky high...
