Another question...

What percentage tint is the BMW OEM Privacy Glass?

and when mentioning percentages, is the number the amount of light let through, or the amount blocked out? i.e. is 100%, clear glass or completely black?

It depends who you are talking to, doesn't it? Generally, when describing tint, you label it by transmission amount, so 100% would be clear.

Like the other gentleman said, Huper Optik, 30% is good, which is what I have the DREI Product has Metal, I wouldn advise, also Formula one Pinnacle is good, almost comparable to Huper, without the price tag, F1 is the high end of Llumar.
I would go with Huper cos we paid so much for the car, why be cheap in a tint! ?

Here is who does the tinting for Stevens Creek BMW. http://www.extremetint.com/
They tinted my windows when my car was delivered and so far they are still perfect.
