Hi All, 

Quick question i have a 2010 e90 325i se saloon - as standard there are no tints to the rear or rear quarters / doors.

My brother has a 320d msport e90 with factory rear tints - i like it so i want to get mine done if i can...

Question is what % is the OEM tint (still googling it) i have auto dimming mirrors if that makes any difference to the level of tintAND then anyone know any places they would recommend to complete the work? I am based in NW London / home counties.

I think (done well) this could look good but i'm conscious of making it look like another 'halfrauds special' that you see rolling about... appreciate any insight here!

Matt.

Hi e90_matt,

Not sure about the OEM tint % but regarding the mirrors, which one is auto dimming? Only rear view mirrors would be affected by the tint %. If your windows were tinted 5% this would allow a lot less light and so the mirror wouldn't need to dim as much. Sides mirrors shouldn't be affected

Not sure about tinting places in NW London but ones in the East are cheaper, the quality should fine as well.

Oh big mistake on using halfords tints. No way such cheap store tints are quality LOL
