I had 35% on my first car, and now have 20% on the e60. I felt like 35 wasn't dark enough for me, so I prefer 20. Its perfect as its dark enough, but doesn't affect driving at night.

I voted for 20%, even that I went 35% with my rearview window. I mean only the rear window.
But in an alpine white car you should do any window or signal or marker to be 20% to make it black enough.

If you are going to tint all windows go with 35%, or 20 at the back and 40 sth in the front.
