Tint - How to decide which type and what % to get?
I have read about sunroofs exploding after tint installed. Just FYI.

So I just got my M550ix back from the tint shop. I went with 3M Crystalline. The sides and back windows have 20% (not legal in Texas), the windshield has 70%, and the sunroof has 40%. Looks great. I can confirm that when I passed through some buildings with no direct sunlight that the instrument panel did in fact dim until it became bright again. I was expecting this, so it's no big deal. It is noticeable if you're looking for it. It's also worth noting that I have the black nappa leather interior, so it's already dark without the tint.

Sorry I can't comment on that because the reason I spent so much time on Bimmerpost is to avoid all the political BS on FB. But it might get a lot worst in 2 years. When I hear how much our friends across the ocean pay in taxes for a new BMW it's crazy.

Nice. What level is that? Do you also experience dimming in low lit areas during the day? I was expecting it and mine definitely does. Having a black interior isn't helping either.
