No Rear Climate Privacy Option

[X5 V8]

I am pretty sure you have to have rear climate. I have noticed that between 04 and 06 BMW's tint on the rear windows has weakened. However this year's X5 for some reason seems a bit darker than my 06 model which had everything but Premium Sound, Nav, and Comfort Seats.

Not sure with 2008 models, but with 2007 privacy glass only came with the rear climate package. The factory tint level is 35% for all the windows (rear sides amd rear).

Here are some pics of my X5 with 40% tint on front passenger and 40% over the factory tint (photos 408 on are shots of the tint.)

Thanks, All the 5 widows front, backs and rear have same tint from factory. $700 for for rear climate is fine but bought off dealers lot and did not have.

I ordered without the rear climate and got 15% FormulaOne Pinnacle installed prior to delivery. My old X5 had the factory tint rears and I could never find a film for the fronts that matched perfectly.

how's the rear window ? thanks

What do you mean? I ordered the car without rear climate, so I assume it had no tint on any of the windows, that's why I got 15% all around. The factor rear climate is around 35%.

I haven't actually seen the car yet, I asked the dealer to take care of it before delivery.

The rear window has lines must be for wipers of defoggers . Can you put tint over that or does the factory need to do it? Thanks

Factory tint for me is too light, your going to end up tinting it. I went 20% all around and 35% front windshield.

You can put tint over the Defroster lines.

Thanks, I see in your profile you have ceramic tint. Sounds like good solutions. I have Black on Black and will want 35%.
