Window Tint Or Not?

fanofbmwe46 · 09-26-2024, 09:20 PM

I’ve tinted every prior sports car I’ve ever had but for some reason I’m debating if I should tint my 2025 M2. Love the interior look so much, the new red trim, the flat bottom steering wheel etc. Kind of want to share that beautiful interior with folks walking by, ha. So yea, not sure if I’ll tint at my usual 35% or go lighter or none at all.

Also, curious what folks are paying for ceramic tint these days?

Thanks!

What’s the “some” reason?

Believe it or not, most folks don’t give a shit about your beautiful interior.

35% around with 50 windshield is our preference for perfect balance of looks, function, and privacy. you can still see the highlights of the inside but it is still blacked in a lot of light. 5-700 for good ceramic tint (and experienced installer) with windshield (xpel xr, 3m ceramic, llumar, etc)

since this thread is useless without pics here are a few. We went darker on the M2 to see what it would be like. this is 20 around with 50 on windshield. would probably go back to 35 around and 50 windshield on the next one especially with buckets. this is an overcast day.

Thanks. Will a good tint last lifetime of the car? I’ve never kept one longer than 5yrs or so but kinda want to keep this M2 for as long as possible. Any chance there is long term degradation of the rear defroster.. like if the tint is replaced or removed in 10yrs at end of lifespan of the tint would it destroy rear defroster lines?

I always tint everything but the windshield on my daily drivers. Went with a nice ceramic coat 30%.
