Window tinting recommendation

TerryGTX · 04-24-2018, 05:24 PM

As the summer is coming and it's getting hot, my gf's beetle and my F32 435xi need some window tinting films. Any good recommendations? Cost? Installation cost?

Thank you !

You might try asking in the regional section - perhaps someone local has had a good experience. Good luck! http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=406

TerryGTX I see you're located in Boston. I've had excellent experiences with Mobile Tint Shop in East Boston. Installation is about $160 if you pay in cash. Omar is the shop owner and works very quickly (less than 1.5 hours). Can't say enough positive things about him.

Thank you! What brand do they use? I just scheduled an appointment on tomorrow with a 3M certified dealer- Pelican Window Tinting- they quoted $210 for high performance tints. But haven't decided yet tho - it might be raining tomorrow as well. Might decide not to go

You're gonna want to shop around i did a shit ton of research on this llumar and huper optik were the best brands out there. I went with Llumar formula one pinnacle it was 300 dollars and it's a great tint with the heat rejection and the warranty. Spend the extra money on the ceramic film it's worth it. Tint transformed the way my car looks and I couldn't be happier. Just read reviews of the places you're researching

From what I read stay away from 3m and suntek they go to shit after 2-3 years.

I got mine done recently, 20% ceramic tints all around. 4 windows and the rear windshield cost me $160.

I also just had mine done a few days ago on the 428i, with 20% in the front two windows and 5% on the back 3, paid $150 with lifetime warranty.
