[/quote]i don't think the dealer did it. probably they sent it to the tint shop or the tint guy came over do it for them. but i could be wrong

My Ride: 04 545i Auto Sport
Silver Gray Metallic - Black Leather - Poplar

As was said earlier - better to avoid Metallic and go with Huper Optik ceramic - will not interfere with the radio reception, and overall better quality tint.
But Metallic is better than dies if you can't afford Huper Optik - but it would be a shame to save a couple hundred bucks and lose radio reception.
Huper Optik Site to locate a local dealer

I did 35% in NYC $250--It looks good--they use 3M products and it's just fine without all the technoese.

I did 20% on the front and back windows and 5% on the rear windshield... $150 cash 3 year warranty...
Yes it is illegal but I have not yet gotten pulled over with them plus they rarley do anyway unless you do something else then they will add it to your ticket if given...
Personally for my I do not think its dark enough... I will most likely get 5 all around and tint the front winshield %50-40... Heres mine...
