BSM, to tint or not to tint the windows?

I'm having a "dilemma", I do NOT like tinted windows at all usually, but maybe in a Black Sapphire car it will look good, and protect the red leather.

what's your take? anyone got any pics of black tinted bmws?

Going to wait on the pics until I get it lowered sometime next week. It pretty much looks the same as the pic you posted.

If the COPS weren't NAZI's where I live I would definitely tint my windows. It looks great, its more private, and in the summer its cooler and easy on your eyes. And will help the Coral from fading.

GO FOR IT LUCKY.

NTFM, makes the car look like a solid object, a brick, a block, common folk will ask, "What happened to the green house?":iono:

I HATE when cars aren't tinted. I couldn't stand to not have tint on mine. I'm having the dealer install before I pick her up. Regardless of color, tint just looks right on vehicles. My .02 cents.

I love the tint from the inside and always get my cars tinted... from the exterior it is neither a good nor bad thing, well I guess it can be a bad thing if the tint color does not clash with the paint color.

thanks for the pics guys, I will try to work out a deal with the 3m film guy for both things.

benefits of ceramic? I heard it doesn't interfere with the all-necessary radar detector...
