Heres some pics of my car with the OEM tints. The fronts look slightly darker than the pics in real life, although are still lighter than the rear windows. The windows look really dark from the outside but once inside the windows only seem slightly tinted and are very easy to see out of even at night.

No, ditch the RFT, they make noise and consumes so much more fuel! I don't run on them, I measured on both the E90 and the two E61, approx 0,1 l/100km on both models difference between RTF and normal.
If you're that worried about saving a tiny bit on fuel costs may I suggest buying and running a BMW would be the wrong choice.

Sorry, made a mistake 0.1 in Swedish miles (=10km) it should say 1.0l /100km. But for sure, there are other cars with lower fuel economy, and especially models, like every other 5'er with diesel accept the 535d

But with 100.000 privat km/year, and saving 1000l at 1,3?/l = a lot of money! 1300? or 2000$ just to have a smoother ride? It is up to you if it is worth it or not. I just shared some information.
