What color should I tint my windows on a silver color E39?
Should I go with dark dark, or mirror like? Perhaps half and half???
I will try to get a pic out tomorrow so you guy can see.
Thanks..

35% is too light IMHO. 15% is still see through but not VERY see through. i thought it would be too dark but it was not. if you go to a tint shop they can give you a sample of the tint so you can see how dark it will look.

Yeah, the dark smoke looks pretty neat and clean..
But tinting the winshield? really? i would never think of that..
Is that legal?
I've got 35% dark tint all around on my car. It was actually on the car when I bought it, but I love it. I'm normally not even a fan of tint:

35% is plenty dark for a car with black interior. most people who tint aren't going for the limo look tint. if they were they wouldn't be asking how dark to go. 35% is very noticable compared with when the windows are down.
oh thanks leo, me tooJensen, everytime i see your car i fall more in love

i like 35% too. i think when it's too dark, it looks ghetto. i did 35%, and 20% on the back window.
alright alright, im the expert around here.
on a bmw you should do 35%, cause of the factory tinted glass, once everything is tinted it all adds up. almost looks like 20%. but if you dont want people seeing in, just do it with 15%-20% which is almost the same thing. i have 35% on mine and its not too dark and not too dark.

no for mirror tint
no for limo tint
yes for dark dark tint
I have 20% all around and I think it looks good. You can still see in during sunlight, it doesnt look ghetto at all IMO.
35% tint

the front two door windows definitely are tinted, my guess would be either 15% all around or 15% in the front two and limo 5% in the back two doors and back window. looks nice.

damn marcus! haven't seen you in ages!Originally Posted by Marcus-San Diego
Get at least dark all around and medium on your windshield. If im not mistaken dark is 15% and medium is 35. I have dark on the front two windows of my jeep. medium on the windshield and dark on top of stock medium in the back. I think it looks pretty good on my car. I definitely would not go with anything less than dark. IMO, it isnt even worth it.
