My Ride: 2008 550i sport
Illinois just recently passed a bill into law (on 10/30) that finally allows us to tint our front windows (adjacent to the driver). I've been waiting patiently to get my tints applied, and finally, it is legal. Of course there are certain %'s allowed. But 35% all around is perfect for me! As you can see, I wasted no time in getting them done. I went with Llumar Formula One Pinnacle, 35%. Looks much darker with the black interior then I thought it would!
Also, in Illinois, you have the option of paying a little extra for specialized license plates. We have college allumni, breast cancer, Bears football, fishing, you name it. I chose to support the Illinois Police Association for a couple of reasons. 1) Most importantly, part of the proceeds go to families who have lost someone in the line of duty
2) I have a personal interest in law enforcement, though I do not do it professionally 3) Maybe it will help get some extra consideration when I get pulled over next. 
Special thanks to member Howitzer for the recommendation on the local tint installer
Pics are kinda crappy, just snapped off a few to share. Thanks!
