i also wanted to know if 20% is hard to see though at night.
Yes it is. You will most likely have to roll down your window to see numbers on houses and stuff.

I just ordered my new 535i Sport and wanted advice on window tint. My dealer carries Llumar Tint, and I wanted to know which type I should get and how dark I should go.

My car is Black Sapphire on Natural Brown. I'm debating whether to do 20%, 30% or 35%. I'm also considering doing the rear window darker - so 20% on the rear window, and maybe 35% on the rest. Any pics would be REALLY helpful.

Additionally which type of Llumar Tint should I get, I'm torn between the AXCESS tint and the PLATINUM PLUS. Any advice or pics would be welcome. I don't have NAV, but I do have a V1 Radar Detector, Bluetooth and Sirrius.

Thanks!
Matt.

20% all around.

Here's 35% FormulaOne Pinnacle. Personally I don't like different percentages of tint on front vs rear, but that just my preference.
