I found a place that gave me a quote of $150. I think that's for all 7 back windows. The place is in Brooklyn and has pretty good customer reviews.

Should I be wary that this is too cheap?

Yes...7. You're right.

This is a shot from the BMW site, so I assume it's "factory" tinting. That looks close to 20%. I'm going to try mimic this.

Thx for the pics. I guess 20% is close to factory. Are the front passenger windows tinted? When you say "all 7 rear windows" what do you mean. I may be missing something but I only count five (NOT...

Cool...thx for the tips

I did ask the dealer who they used/recommended but the dope on the phone had no idea/said he had no such list.

I'll try to get somebody there w/a brain

Thx.

BMW of Manhattan (our shop) stopped doing it. I might be able to find a shop out on Long Island but it's a hassle.

So basically the lower you go % wise, the darker it is?

Thanks. So is that all I have to say? 20%? I may do 18% since I've read that BMW factory settings are in some cases not dark enough.

I just don't want the super dark look

What Is The Factory Tint Setting For An '06 X3?

When we bought our 2006 X3 we didn't want/need the tinting/privacy glass that came from the factory.

Now we have a kid and a dog and in the backseat the sun gets hot. So I have to do an...

Hmmm....Didn't know there was a flashlight. Have never seen it in my 06 X3. Will add it to the list when it take it in for yearly service.

That's odd FLAMEZ...The aux input jack in our X3 is in the glove box. I agree the arm rest would be easier, but the glove box is not too bad. I usually pick a play list and just close the glove box...

Mine was a $47K sticker price as well, but it's an '06 with under 11,000 miles....Sadly, $30,000 sounds like a decent deal.

I'm hoping I can recoup 25g when I go to trade it in, probably late next...

Low Mileage 2006 X3 3.0 Trade In Value??

Has anybody traded in their X3 (to the dealer) in order to upgrade/buy a new BWM?

Just curious as our family is growing and we'll likely be too big for the X3 in a year or so.

well this car is only three months old, so...We're not going to trade it in, just yet....So there is no way to touch up the back bumper?

Replacing it is an option, but an expensive one I'm sure
