So which would be more cost effective.... A tint or the sunblinds? I was thinking about the blinds but recalled my cousin saying tints were effective at blocking out the sun.

Drawback with tints is bubbling which you will see much later in the car's life. I expect to keep the 328i a while.

Is there a factory tint?
Hi Ckau .. the standard windows are already UV protected and a light level of tint. there are quite a few good tints available that provide a 5 year warranty they dont cost that much either. 800~1000. If you op for the factory tint it will be only the windows behind the b pillar. Cost like close to 800 too. Better off getting it done outside.

Quite a few of my mates go to http://www.tintacar.com.au/car-tinting/
