The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[L0veZHP]

I've been reading a lot of forums and everyone really has a different opinion. I like the tints just because I live in NYC and I don't feel too comfortable having everyone look at me. While I'm parking or at a light it's just crazy really. And having tints in NYC is kinda "boss" lol.
The other day I drove super clean with all my windows down and my sunroof open around NYC and got plenty of compliments from people. And people actually saw my interior for a change. The combo is too good smh. Also clear windows I think would look super clean and classy! But idk about getting rid of my tints.

I've been thinking or removing them and riding around fish then eventually getting 50%-35% all around even the windshield

P.S: The fishbowl look in NYC, at least for me is actually kinda rare and different. I always try to notice nice, clean cars with them but never actually see or find clean cars like ours with fishbowled out.

One other option is to go the route BP went, and get Air Blue 80 all around. Basically fish bowl, but you still get the UV protection and heat reduction. Just food for thought.

Doesn't that have a blueish tint? I remember him posting pictures one day

Yes. Looks fresh as hell IMO. All the sun protection without having to worry about getting pulled over.

I think a lot of cars are missing this piece.

I recently went with 35% and really like it. Got tired of the fishbowl look.

35% here as well. in texas heat, tint is mandatory.

BP, this looks great - exactly what i want for both Tourings. how much did it cost to get this done?

Peter, the guy who tinted my windows said Llumar film is basically the same price regardless of which you go with. Down here ~$300 freedom dollars is the going rate for a sedan/coupe, and $400 was the SUV rate. I'd think a touring would be in between the two.

Added bonus: I'd think the Air Blue 80 doesn't look as shitty on the dot matrix. That's speculation, though.
