15% Tint on an F30

Just got my car tinted, aesthetically wise, it looks much better! Just wanted to share a photo with you guys incase anyone else wants to see how a 15% tint looks on an F30.

I was researching and a lot of people were saying that visibility at night is poor. To be honest, I don't really notice a difference when driving at night haha!

About the only real difference you might detect is the rear mirror auto-dimming may be slightly affected, but that's really not a big deal.

I did a slight tint on the fronts (yes, not legal), but not enough for the police to notice. I'm more of a stickler for blending the tints than the immediate night/day difference from front to back.

Looks good.

None required in my opinion. The tint essentially does the grunt work for the auto dimmer when it cones to headlights in your rear view.
