Opinion's and pricing wanted for tinted windows

I am thinking that the standard tint on my 2006 X5 4.8is on the rear, and side passenger windows that come stock tinted from BMW are too light for my taste's. Anyone go darker on those, like maybe a limo tint, and then a mild tint for the front door window's ?

Also what would something like this expect to cost ?

Tint

I left to stock privacy class on the back windows and added 35% to the front. I didnt want to go any darker becasue it does get hard to see when it's dark out, however a darker tint such as 25 % would looks much beter. Anyways for the front two windows it cost be 100$ flat.

In our part of the USA there are laws governing the amount of tinting. I am a new owner of a 2002 X5 that was not tinted when I bought it. I had street legal tinting done by a local shop, all windows except windshield for $230 USD. Love it, both appearance and functionally.

I have heard from the dealer that when you tint the front windows etc that you will have reduction in range for the key remote. Anyone know if this is true or false.

I have been thinking about doing my front windows and would like it to match as close as possible to my stock rear windows. So will that be a 35%?
