for those who do not like dark tint, try 70% and you will see how nice your car looks.

Very illegal. But will unlikely be pulled over just for that.

Easy rule of thumb

the higher the % (allows more light thru)
the lighter the film

so then, technically, for ca, the legal tint is 70%? .... that's like nothing... 50% is nothing..... do they mean 30%? (light pass through)

or 70% light pass through

%tint denotes the amount of light that can penetrate the glass. So, 70% means that 70% of light can pass thru and I've been told that's what the M5's come with from the factory....and yes, that's barely noticible. But like I said, unless the cop is pulling you over for something else, I doubt they would ticket you solely for 35%. 5%, well, that's another story all together.
