Here’s a before and after photo. This particular shade of CR has a bronze look to it that’s pretty distinctive and would probably look great on your white X3.

Is factory "privacy glass" and "factory tint" two different things? I'm obviously bit confused.

VIN decoder of my 2012 X3 shows privacy glass/glazing option code. I don't see anything else related to car's glass. I used my digital SLR camera light meter to measure rear windows light transmission with (bare, no film) just privacy glass, looks to be blocking about 50% of visible light...That sound correct?
thanks
