Window Tint on JZB

Jlnike · 10-19-2009, 06:38 AM

Looking to get window tint done this week on my Jerez Black e90 with black interior.

not sure if i want to get

1. 20% tint
2. 35%
3. something in the middle

what are your opinions

thanks.

J08M3 · 10-19-2009, 06:49 AM

something less in my opinion. I like very light tint.

Jlnike · 10-19-2009, 06:57 AM

Just not sure what to do with this car? Here are 2 pics taken with my tour.

open to all opinions.

Pick whatever tint percentage you like the best.

I would just just recommend that you consider Formula 1 brand window tints.

This is a top-tier automotive window film. You'll be happy that you did...

5%

Jlnike · 10-19-2009, 07:49 AM

not sure what i like that why i'm trying to get others opinions. i normally black out my cars with 20% but this car might look better different in jerez...so not sure.

does pinnacle formula 1 tint have a different hue to it or look different for any reason or its just higher quality that wont fade?

Get Formula1 Pinnacle 35 on all four side windows and 20% on the back window. It will look good, reject heat really well, won't fade, and won't interfere with your electronics.

Not Jerez, but here is 35% 3M on my Jet Black E90. Also be aware of the risk of scratched tint on the E90. My has gotten badly scratched as a result of the hard trim piece that sits below the window seal. See the thread below for more details:

I have 35% pinnacles on Jerez e90. I would go 20%. I regret my decision going light.

Nawaaz · 10-19-2009, 10:35 PM

I went with 20%, and voted for it also. Here's a link to my thread with pics of 20% all around on my M3: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283396

35% wouldn't look bad either.

Like some have already mentioned, go with Formula 1 brand.

xxe92xx · 10-19-2009, 11:23 PM

Llumar is also a good brand. 20% didnt cut it for me, but thats just my opinion so I went with 15% might as well go alittle dark

Kev · 10-19-2009, 11:46 PM

I opted for 35% all around to keep the visibility.

Jlnike · 10-20-2009, 03:48 PM

i have to know by tomorrow morning....this is pretty difficult look at the poll

what do you guys think about 20% on the rear windshield and 35 on the dooors?

make it just a smidg darker while still getting the visibility out of the sides

Yes, that would be a good compromise. Or you can go down to 15% in the back windshield.

Like I recommended before, that's what I did and I'm very happy with it.

ScheerSpeed · 10-21-2009, 01:27 AM

i have 35% 3M on my JZB and it looks great!

20% on the sides isn't really obstructive, in my honest opinion. Don't let the darker appearance from the outside fool you.

If you like to go darker, yet still get good visability.....20% all around is perfect. If you're sensitive to going slightly darker than average and you just wanna play it safe, go with 35% on the sides, and 20% on the back.

Jlnike · 10-21-2009, 05:38 PM

i needed to know by today at noon time....it was 11-11

i mixed and matched put 20 on the rear and 35 on the sides

here are some preliminary blackberry pics hard to really tell because of the clouds and the fact that theres still water behind the tint...these are dead fresh pics

thanks for all the responses.... This forum board really makes owning this car even better!

Lemans_Blue_M · 10-21-2009, 06:46 PM

Looks good.

Need better pics though.

Please tell me you purchased a high-quality film (tint)?
