tint advice

Hi all,

New to the forum and have enjoyed all the posts. Just ordered a 135 TiAg Manual. Advised to get the darkest 'StreetLegal' tint. Wasn't able to see any examples at the dealership. THey just had it on a sample window. Is anyone with the same or similar tint able to post some pics? Is anyone else getting ths tint?

Look up Midnight Express tint from Tint-a-car. That is darkest legal at 35% i believe. It isnt really *that* dark. You need to find a place that does 20% for something more effective in setting off the TiAg.

Planning to let BM Melbourne do mine. Not full dark.

Apparently, no metallic palarva in the tint that might interfere with radio / phone etc (probably bull)

I have had all my past BMW's tinted by the dealer..
Their darkest tint is never as dark as you can get privately,but I am not a real fan of tinting that dark..
It makes the class look less classy and more like a hoons car IMO.
