Window tint opinions needed!
Hi guys,
I just wanted to get everyone's opinion and help on deciding what percentage I should tint my car. I have a 2012 328i sport line with black interior. The exterior is mineral grey. Need help deciding between 20% or 35% all around! Taking all the advice I can get. Thanks :-) |

On my old car, I did 20% all around, I had trouble seeing at night when looking in the rear. I also had some problems during inspection in Texas since they raised the limit from 22% to 25%.
I am going to do 25% all around on my 328i. It still looks clean, its legal and with black interior, it will make it look dark IMO |

I went with 35% Huper Optik all around except windshield and it seems like the perfect compromise to me. Not too dark to see out of at night, but really cuts down on the glare and heat in the Arizona sun. I've got mineral grey with black interior.
I don't have problems with scratches in the film. I never got my E90 tinted so I didn't see what other posters were talking about. |

i had 30% on my AW/Black E92 and I wished it was darker so I will be going for 20% all around on my F30. In New York, pretty much all tint is illegal so if they want to stop you for it, they wont care if its 20 or 30 or 35.

So 35% VLT will make the exterior look darker (and cheaper) than 20% VLT?

For those still interested, have a look at my MG with black interior 20% back/rear sides and 95% front.
