I've got 20%. I was worried it would be too dark, but I really like it.

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.

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.

I recently did 35% all around, and originally thought it was too dark, but so far its been perfect. No complaints.

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...
