Factory Window tint
What is the percentage in the back windows? I was told the factory tint is 20% so I put on 20% for the 2 front windows however, I think the 2 front windows looks a little darker at an angle. It is not hugely noticeable but you know since I am the owner and picky, I notice it.... I think the 35% is too light? What do I do??

The factory tint is a special one (at least for swiss models): the stronger the sun is, the darker the windows get. That could make it difficult to find a matching tint for the front. Therefore I would choose a weaker tint in front.... That way they'll never be darker than the rear.

factory tint is 35% in US X3s. We have 35% on the fronts and it matches exactly.

Well, here is how my X3 looked right after the tint job. The third pic was as stock (rear privacy glass only)
Chrissy, yes agree can see through 50% like it was nothing. Even at 30% I can still see through but that's exactly what I wanted. |
