Just ordered by 330i Sparkling Graphite, Black interior, Sport, with 6sp.  So now I'm dreaming about mods. In the past I've always had beige interiors, but opted for Black Dakota Leather this time. You know cleaner, sleeker, longer lasting. So I'm thinking of options to reduce summer heat. Any Pictures of tinting the windows on the e90 out there? Ohio will let me go 50F and 50B, but I think I'd prefer them a little lighter. Just trying to get a feel. Any idea's out there. Or other suggestions? Started production Friday June 10, and already wondering if I'll be able to wait. |

My car is silver but I have 30% black tint on the side windows and 50% for the rear glass, it doesn't seem like much but it's just enough to keep the interior a tad more cool, and because the inside is black, you don't see much in the bottom of the car, but you can see through those windows to the outside easily.

I plan to get a grey20% tint. It's darker then we are aloud by law. I think they way you guys are talking, my tint would be 80%. I found it a bit weird driving at night, but i soon got used to it, and it's not a problem.
No police ever pulled me over for having too dark windows.
I'm gonna drive my car for a while, to check that there are no rattles or anything, and then i might let them tint my windows.

| You got it right. The % quoted should be VLT (Visible Light Transmitted). An 80% tint would be very light.
One thing I would highly recommend is that people should not shop on price only. Your spent a lot of time researching the car you wanted and you should do the same with the tint you want on your car. Tint prices can run from $99 to over $500 here in the States and there is a reason for that, just like your BMW cost more than a KIA. A lot of people are concerned with radio interference because of the antenna embedded in the rear window. If that is a concern of yours, than you should look into a non metallic film such as ceramic films.
