Speaking of tint... I am going to redo all of mine. I just dont like how"transparent it is on the sides and back. I am going to go a little darker. My front windshield is perfect @ 30% though.

anyone with a silver gray e60 with tint? if so could you please post a picture? ive been debating with myself about getting my car tinted because its a light color and so are my rims and all.. not sure if it would look good. the only silver gray e60 with tint that ive seen had black rims and it still didnt look good to me.. not sure if it was just the rims. im just wondering..

Had 20% tint on our monaco blue E90 with beige interior. It was not that dark. The beige makes it seem much lighter. I am going to get 20% on my E60 since it has black interior and it will look much darker.
I had some issues with radio reception. But radio reception problems started when I got a HID kit installed in the E90. When ever the HID come on in my E90 the radio stations start getting static. If you turn the HID off the static is gone. Its odd but I use iPod so I don't mind. With the tint the static got worse but I think its because the shop was not that good. They installed it for $80 and the shop is now gone.
I had the tint removed because it had become scratched on all 4 windows. The static issue was gone but some little static still remains when the HID are on. But with the tint the static was unbearable.
