I have 35% all around, except the front windshield.? I used Madico Charcool tint which also has a lifetime warranty.? The tint shop put a specific type of Madico non-metallized tint on my car cause I have Navigation.
It's funny that my brother, who also owns a MB, also thinks tint will cheapen my car.? I'm happy with it.? Here's a pic:

Thanks everyone. I'm going to do some research with the information you provided, including the sunglasses thing. I wear eye glasses and the only thing available are those "clip ons." It's OK if I look like an old fart.

$180 for my tint work, 20% on all 3 sides.
I had 32% on my front windshield, but that windshield got the infamous BMW crack, so I had to replace it. Have not bothered calling the dude up to tint the new windshield yet.
Check the pics in my signature to see the tint. VVVVVVVVV

$250 for mine. All around, not including front windshield. I originally had 20% all around but saw that it was too dark against my black-on-black car so I took it back the next day to have them redo it with 35%. They could have charged me $100 to remove the tint and another $250 to retint but the owner was cool, just charged me $200.
So I guess I actually paid $450 for mine....

That's where I got mine done. Glad you like the results. I think mikej is up next. They're probably wondering where all these E60 owners are coming from...
