what do you guys think of $165 for all the windows except for windshield. Is that too much?

That's a good price, but is it good tint? I have a guy who does tint in Santa Ana that uses ceramic tint and I believe the price is around 300-350. His name is Leo and number is 714-543-4677...tell him Joe from Trinity Autosport sent you.

that's pretty cheap considering it's a BMW. Up here in Norcal, a reputable tint shop will charge around 400 for the ceramic tint and around 200-300 for the regular carbon tint which also will not cause any interference for nav or radio reception. Make sure the shop uses the good tint.

Ceramic tint has no metal in it. It does not interfere with reception, Blue Tooth, or C/A features. Although some have had no issues with metalized film and these features.

I just got ceramic done and paid $300. Normal tint would have been about half. So you are good.

I went to a shop in Santa Barbara and got the nicer of the 3M tints for 200. Its probably not ceramic but they did a good job
