and 1 more, I think the 1st pic is good because you can see how dark it really is w/ the white fence behind the car.

I'll be tracking this topic for sure. I'm looking to tinit the E60 some time soon. All my previous cars had limo in the rears and 15% in the front. Seemed to work out ok. May be a little hard when backing up @ night. Also, its illegal to tint the front driver and passenger windows in Cali. Not that anyone listens... :whistle:

In Ny it is also "not" legal, But ?? I hate how you can see right through the 15% and see the whole white fence, Im actually convincing my self the 8% which is actually 5 but meters 8... :D
