I just recently joined the club with and picked up an 06 550i and was interested in getting the windows tinted.
I have heard varying opinions on if the window tint interferes with either the comfort access or Navigation or not. I have searched the forums but apparently couldnt find a difinitive thread discussing this so I thought I would start one. Thanks in advance for any input!

Im located in Dayton, Ohio.
On my past cars, I usually do around 35% but those were with darker interiors and lighter exterior colors. The 550's color is black sapphire with a tan interior so I might be able to get away with it being a bit darker.
Yours looks great!

Personally, anything darker than 35% is too much for me..too dificult to see at night. You might also have probs with law enforcment if you go darker than 35%.

The metallic film will interfere with the AM radio reception. The ceramic film will not. I have the metallic and have noticed no other interference. My 535i has the nav and sat radio.
