Extreme Tint & Polish on Scott Blvd in Santa Clara: 408-727-9540. A bunch of us local SJ E60 owners got our tint done there. They charge $250 for all five windows (excluding windshield). The owner's name is Rest.

BTW, come out to our holiday dinner this Thu at The Line Shack on Winchester near Santana Row: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=66132

I wrote their number above in my post. The tint on my car was already there however, Extreme did my 545 and I had 35% all around (same as on the M5) and they used Madico Charcool film.

ditto exactly what Tony said... I recommend Extreme Tint & Polish all the time to friends... I think it might have only been $200 for 35% all around when I got mine done... I asked them about my wife's Honda Pilot and it was $250 for a SUV.. they'll ask if you have Navigation in your car, and if so they'll suggest the Madico Charcool which is what I have too..

We also work with Extreme Tint off Scott Blvd, right down the street from us. They are well priced and do great work.

I dont think any other film material can beat 3M films for tint.
Both of my 5er and 7er are tinted with these and I am still impressed n happy with the quality of the material.

U should find out if the shop would install em in ur area,

cost me 500 bucks per vehicle in my area, Atlanta
