Hi,
Does anyone have a picture of how the car looks like with BMW original tinted windows? The option is very affordable but I don't want completely "black" windows, just that exclusive look of slightly darker windows than standard.
Picture anyone? PLS...

Those look awful with the front doors tinted lighter than the back.

Not sure what you mean by BMW original tinted windows. BMW offered to tint mine for $500.. I said no thanks. I went to my friend's tinting shop and got it done for $150. Looks great.

I mean the slightly tinted "sun protection glass" which could be added as an option when ordering your car. I do not want to tint the windows with film.

P.S.
I have looked through almost all pictures in the gallery but as far as I can see no one has specified their glasses as "BMW original sun protection glasses". But there are quite a few who have tinted film ranging from 20 to 50%.

All the pictures shown so far are probably those of LAMINATED windows and windscreens.

A lot states in the US does not allow the front windows to be tinted.
Cop can issue you a ticket, and it will not pass the annual inspection.
