20%

F80_M · 06-27-2015, 02:07 AM

I'm sure I'm the minority here with 5% tint

Anyone have a pic of the microdot issue? I plan on 35% formula one ceramic.

Here's a pic showing the microdots on my left rear side window. They show up as a light outline in the otherwise darkened glass.

I like 35% too.

I just got them tinted wanted to share in case anyone else was interested. 35% all around. Deep Sea Blue, Oyster interior. Kinda wished they were a bit darker but living in the NYC area, after my first ticket I know I would've regretted that decision. Name: IMG_0765.JPG

Formula One Pinnacle ceramic window film-35% all around.

Covello · 07-19-2015, 12:07 AM

FWIW Mineral White with 20%.

I also was trying to decide between 35% and 20% but I didn't want to regret going too light, and I've never heard anyone say they went too dark. I can see fine at night, it's actually a little dark in parking garages, but at night you see building lights and car lights and it's not a problem at all. Happy with my choice.

I have 35 on the doors and 5 on the rest. It looks completely different depending on the angle.

dphjr · 07-20-2015, 03:43 PM

20% all around. Never had a problem with visibility in my car, day or night. I believe the brand I have is Black Max. Very good quality, no bubbles and holds up well in this texas heat lol.

Tint done well everyone! Looks amazing!

Anyone have 50% tint?

alexc93 · 07-20-2015, 07:05 PM

I went 30% and coming from my 15% in the 135i I am very happy. It isn't too dark but it isn't noticeably lighter during the day from the outside either, it is however, much easier to see out at night. See pics in my threads
