I agree after taking a second look. I don't think he has the factory privacy glass as mentioned from his previous post. Now the rear windows look like they're 35% (not 15%) and the front looks like 50%.

Mine came with privacy glass. Not a great photo, but it is already in this board's gallery.

Very nice! 35% in the front is the way to go. The dealer had originally tinted my fronts to match the rear Privacy Glass, but I found that to be too dark. Here's a pic of when they matched the front windows to the rears:


And here's a pic once I had them re-do it:


And here's the old 330i non-tinted pictured on Mont Royal in Montreal, Quebec. I miss it very much sometimes:


Tinted in Toronto:

I didn't have privacy glass before, and yes the rear is 15% and front is 35%, the windows look abit lighter in my pict probably because there is a white buliding behind it and it was very sunny that day, but trust me it's dark. I'll try to post more picts.

We trust you....optical illusion or some of us need o have our eyes checked.

Sunny days make your tint look lighter.
