Sorry, thought you were referring to the part of his post that said, "tinting a windshield is astonishing."

I'm also thinking of tinting my X5. The rears have privacy glasses. Not sure if I should tint all windows or just two front side windows. I'm looking for mainly protection against UV rays than anything else.

Does the rear privacy glasses have any protection against UV rays? If not, I'll go for all windows (except windshield).

nice wheels, you need to update your sig pic.

as for the wheel brushes, I've found them to be more trouble than they're worth, plus they put a lot of strain on your wrist in my experience since you have to attack the rim with multiple angles just by holding a stick. A simple rag in soap water does the job for me.

The only way I'd do just the two front side windows is if it can match the rears. If not, it won't look right, IMO. Maybe do a 20-35% film on everything.

Thanks! I need to photoshop a new pic of the E70 since I no longer have the E53 to take a new pic.

Unless I take the wheels off, I can't get my hand though them from the outside to clean the inside of the wheels.
