The OP post has to be some of the worst butchery of the English language I've seen in a while and makes me wonder how one can afford a BMW 5-Series and not know basic English writing skills?
I firmly believe that mastery of reading, writing, and speech is one of the most important things you can learn in life. Those that don't bother or don't realize that should be driving a Ugo so we can spot them on the road and keep adequate distance.
Yes, I'm a prick, sue me.

I am currently considering this as well.
I wouldn't go too dark if I was you. I'm thinking 50% on the front side windows and then either 20% or 35% on the back ones. If you go with anything darker than 50% on the front you are likely to get chew off the police. My cousin has 25% all round on his car and in my opinion it is too dark for the UK with our dark nights and crap weather. Incidently my cousin got pulled for his tints last week and was fined ?30 and told to take them off, needless to say he has ignored the police advice.
If we lived somewhere sunny it would be a different mater

I personally prefer 5% all around but here in utah 50% is legal for front side windows!
on my ride I have 35% all around and haven't had any trouble! I like 35% because its dark ebough that people can't see in and its not that dark that the police won't pull you over!
personally I prefer all windows tinted to be the same percentage because it looks more clean.
