Only you can say whether or not to tint the windows as we don't know the reasoning behind your question.

Just make sure that whoever fits it complies with the laws on tinting as it'll be you liable for the fine if you're stopped and the BiB get arsey about it - although that'll only happen if you fail the initial attitude test.

If you've already got a slightly tinted (blue/green/smoked) window as standard, then the amount of tint in that will need to be added to the total to see if you'll be legal or not.

My next car may well be a white 3-door 1er, and if it is, I'll be tinting the rear three windows, as I've done on my current car. It's all down to taste, of course, but as I don't like tints to be too dark, I had a 30% transparency, which allows a decent amount of light both in and out, while still giving the look I wanted.

I wouldn't - Visibility is bad enough without making it worse...

I ticked the rear window tint option on my 3door 1er and like it, down to personal taste as always though.

You do realise the visibilty from the inside of a window that is tinted is marginally different to a non tinted one ..right?
