So I have read good reviews on here for Formula 1 window tint, and found a Formula 1 dealer locally, and to install 15% is $266....which I think is damn good.
Just curious if anyone has pics of this installed on their 5 series or of the Pinnacle 35%?

I put Pinnacle 35% on mine. Absolutely love it and absolutely no interference with comfort access, nav, etc. I had read some horror stories of people having comfort access issues with Huber Optik's ceramic film.
I noticed you're in Birmingham. If you want the best tint job possible, PM me. There's a guy in Atlanta that does a jamup job. Actually has won several international contests (hey, who knew they have tinting contests?). He's expensive, but worth it. I paid $330 for my tint job.

Here are some photos. No comments about the dirty exterior. It was raining for the past 3 days and just stopped today.
I tried getting the photo of the rear window with the sun shining directly on it instead of at an angle.

That looks pretty nice! A little lighter than I was wanting....but if thats all they'll do, then I guess I'll have to settle. Is there a law for the back glass in GA? I wonder if they would do 15 on the back, and 35 on the sides? They emailed me back on price.....$315...they're running a 10% off deal for a few weeks they said

I got mine at 35% as well all around (535xi). It's also a bit lighter than I wanted to be. Anyway, did not pay anything as the dealer threw it in (I demanded it) when I bought the car. It's one of the best tint film money can buy.

175 for a quality job with quality tint? Haven't seen that yet....even with cheap brands of tint 
Between the brands that make ceramic, it's been $250-$390.....around here anyways

It's a lot darker with the moonroof cover closed. Definitely not too dark, but I didn't want too dark. The po-po here in Georgia love to give people a hard time about their tint jobs.
Yea, they were running a 10% off special when I had mine done as well. Danny is a great tinter.

They emailed back and said they wouldn't go any darker than the 35%
I wonder if they're just saying this in the email to cover their butts? Wondering when I get there if they'll agree to the 15? Past experience with tinters is that they'll do what ever you want, but on the receipt and certificate they'll put down the legal limit.
