During the day, it actually was pretty light. People thought it was 50. It was just right.

I would do 35.

+1 on the 35...I had it on my last 5er and MCoupe as well. It will look darker with a black interior, but it's fine to see out of at night. Stay away from 15...I had it on a couple of Acuras when I lived in FL...great during the day...royal beeotch at night.

I have a white e60 with 35% on sides, 20% on rear. It's dark, 1 step beyond legal in Va., but you can see out of the car at night, and in during the day. So I hope to fly under the radar. I call it safe, if not legal.

My Ride: 2004 530i premium package/active steering/auto sunshade/tiag/black dakota leather/logic 7 35% tint all around 19' DPE GT7

I have tiag with sunshades and 35% front and back, and it is pretty dark I love the look but I think even if I would have went with the safer 50% I would have been happy. Here are somoe pics to give you an idea in different lighting, hope that helps.

Astro Eclipse.... that is where I had mine done... very good job and great price...

As for the darkness... my rear windows have the shades up as well, so makes it darker...
