Window tinting

[James320]

Hi, just picked up my 2016 f31 really pleased with it! It's in a dark blue and I'm having it tinted on Monday morning, I'm looking for dark rear and lighter (legal) front windows has anyone suggestions on what shade of tint is best? Want full privacy on the rear but still able to see and then obviously front legal but will still go with the back. Many thanks in advance

Hi James, 

enjoy your ride!

remember when you go for tints, the car should already be tinted, so get the garage to meter the fronts with the film on the window otherwise it might fail. 
one of my mates got done for having legal tint film on tinted windows, which he didn’t take into consideration.

 

for the back… limo black! 👍🏻

Thanks for giving me some insight, I will take the advice from the tint company for the front, I haven't as of yet got a camera in the back only sensor's would limo make it hard for me to see? Had tint before just never had the luxury of riding in something with limo

To be honest, Limo only looks good if it’s done right. Any blemish or pitting on the window makes it look like a bin bag. The camera would only work if it was touching the window so maybe go a couple of shades less 👍🏻

Sorry for the confusion I haven't got a reversing camera I was going to fit one that actually goes with the boot handle not inside the glass, sound advice I'm paying for a professional install but as the car is from 2016 maybe best to go a few shades lighter?
