Window Tint???

XRP · 08-23-2011, 04:39 PM

I want to tint but i want the back a little darker than just matching the front with back windows..

I DO have privacy Glass in Back..

I am thinking 35% back & 20% front to match both..

Has anyone done this????

Yes I have 35% in the front because that is what is legal. I have 25% in the back on the privacy glass. Looks sharp on Alpine white. Really makes a difference that the vehicle is lot cooler.

I just put 35% on the fronts (also per legal limit) and limo tint on the rest. Main purpose was the rear privacy glass wasn't sufficient to block sun glare from my 1.5-yr-old passengers on long road trips and I mistakenly didn't check the built-in sun shades box when building my car (cheap option, pricey mistake). Couldn't be happier with the result though! Car stays much cooler, sun glare is non-existent and it reminded me that window tint always looks great on black (sapphire) cars! I'll have to post a pic when I get a minute.

To your question, if you get it tinted at your local BMW dealer, I'm betting they will know the exact combo to match fronts to rears with privacy. My cost was $420 out the door for comparison.
