tinting questions?

My dealer was quoting me 350$ for tinting all round. I am thinking of going 35%. Any thoughts if it is a reasonable price?

Find the guy who does the tinting for the dealer. I have "a guy" like that and got the wife's 335i tinted for $100. He does all the tint for Hendrick BMW locally.

you can get the same quality tint done elsewhere for cheaper but you may get some extra peace of mind having them do it. No low paid window tinter is gonna crawl around inside your car and leave a scuff mark on your interior as long as the dealership is responsible. I had a local shop do my a6 and he accidentally broke my windshield. Luckily it was a reputable place and the shop had a brand new windshield installed.

The dealer price is a little high, but at least in my area you are going to pay close to $300 for any all around tint job using a high quality ceramic tint. I wouldn't go with anything else on this car.

edit to add: Just wanted to add, I bought from a really large east coast dealership, and surprisingly they did not offer tinting although I know other dealerships around here do.
