Tinting the front windows on X5M
I was wondering if anyone knows what's the % factory tint is on the back window? I was thinking to have the front windows tinted to match the back, any imput is greatly appreciated.
Thank you. |

if you do 35 on the fronts it'll match perfectly, thats what I did on my last x5

I did my fronts with 20% Pinnacle ceramic tint. I also did my front windshield and sun roof with the clear UV protection film. It did wonders for cooling off the truck in the summer. They also did my wife's Mini Countryman.
The tint was done by Art of the Tint on 25th and 10th. Call Tom at 917-685-4792, tell him Brian with the Blue X5 and white Mini sent you. |

I went with 15's all around and 35 on my windshield, IMO 35 is too light. The 20's in that pic look pretty good also

So did you have to pay to get the factory tint removed or did they just put it over? I've gotten a quote for tint removal on my old 335 and it's definitely not something I'd be willing to pay for. I'd rather just get the factory tint matched up on the front.

To remove the factory tint you would need new windows that aren't tinted, someone did that on their x5m on here.. But I just put 35% over the factory tint and it matched the front 15's

I put 18% charcoal gray on the fronts and 35% charcoal over the factory tint in the rear. It's a near perfect match. I also did a 18% strip across the top of the windshield. I can't believe BMW couldn't throw in a tint strip on the factory windshield of a 70K vehicle. tight wads.....
