I've got a 5-series saloon at the moment with rear tints, from factory.

Im picking up another 5 series (tourer) next week which doesnt have tints. I'll have to get them done because the car looks silly without them, but I want them the same as factory spec. Are they 35%? I dont want them too dark so it looks like a limo, but not too weak so I get no benefit from them.

I had my tourer done a few years ago.

From memory it was 80% on the front windows, 50% on the rear windows and then 30% on the boot side windows and 20% on the back window.

This photo was taken with the other windows down and pano roof open to let more light into the cabin so you could see how well it blends.



It looked darker than that normally, well the rears did, the front just looked better than the factory 90% or whatever it is.
