I just purchased a new/ used e60 and tranfered all my old mods over. Only difference now is that I don't have tint, and I gotta say I think it looks alot better w/o. Does anyone else think that their car looks better w/o tint?! I ask bc I've yet to hear of anyone say anything bad about the look of their tint.

I prefer the tinted look, but have never had it done b/c I think it cuts down on your ability to see out of the car. However, tinted windows cut down on heat absorption and compensate to some degree for a dark exterior and/or interior.

Ive tinted every car Ive owned for the last 15 years. I think BMWs have some slight factory tint and it looks classy and clean. I personally think the tint makes the car look "sporty" and with shadow line trim it cleans up the profile, but to each his own, I say roll without till you get tired of people watching you rock out in traffic
