% tint NY?
I just bought a 340i and it's black so I'd like to get it tinted.
I'm considering either 20% or 35% but am worried about he cops. Anyone who has tints, how's your luck been? |

This. Also, I would go for a light tint if you do live in queens like your profile says and if you street park.

pretty soon itll be a part of our lovely yearly inspection and if you have a sedan the only window you can legally tint is the rear windshield.

But of course Officers will be exempt from this. I found out the other day active duty police officers are allowed to purchase silencers for guns in NY. WTF.

so wait they are changing the tint laws in new york state altogether? only rear windshield? thats dumb
currently you can tint front and rear windows up to 30% http://tintlaws.com/new-york-window-tint-law.php i have 30% tint (70% light in) all around and have no issues. |

70% light transmission is the factory glass. they are now including tint % as part of NY INSPECTIONS. this means if you go to get your car inspected and it has tinted windows you will fail inspection and will not pass until you correct it and the light meter reads 70% or higher.

My Luck when i had 20's was Crappy. 3 tickets for the year.
I removed those and switched to 35. 2 years strong and ticket free. (Knocking on wood) |

you guys are funny thinking the new law is about being pulled over for it. its going to be part of VEHICLE INSPECTION yearly.. in order to pass inspection you need to have no tint.

i have been okay thus far.. i live in long island and travel to queens on occasion. just got my inspection done in july.. so i'll be good until next year when the lease is up. the factory glass on an F3x is already 30% tinted? really? it does nothing. I guess i will have to opt for a light tint ceramic film to block out the heat. |
