Does any one know a good place to get the rear windows tinted in the UK?
If you have them as standard from BMW who does them?

Cheers

In Birmingham there is a great company called Pentagon (http://www.pentagon-birmingham.com/). They are very good and professional. They have done a few cars for me including a MINI which came with factory fit tints on all but the front side windows - Pentagon were able to put a legal tint on those in the same shade as the BMW tints - fantastic!

If you have them standard from BMW then the glass is tinted from the factory (there is no film on them). You can often tell the difference between factory fit and aftermarket round the edge of the window where the black 'dots' are - on aftermarket tints the film struggles to stick perfectly and you see a 'white' border - on factory fit you never see this.
