Suggestions On Window Tint & Clear Bra?
Hello,
Not 100% sure where I should post these questions but thought I would start here. I am picking up my Singapore Grey F90 M5 this Wednesday out of state and will be bringing it back to AZ. I need to get the windows tinted and my local dealer has two options: Ceramic: $350, Nano (he said Nana I swear but sure he meant Nano?) $600. I think my M4 currently has the base ceramic tint and it has held up well. I asked about the differences between the two and they indicated the Nano blocks more UV light. AZ is a 33% light state in the front windows, I was thinking to do the 33% in the front and rear passenger windows and something darker in the back window. Anyone have thoughts on the type of tint or how dark to go? I also have a clear bra on my M4 that covers the front bumper from top to bottom and goes about halfway up my hood. It has been great at protecting the vehicle from little rocks, etc from the road scratching up the paint. Can you put a clear bra on the front like this when you have the carbon fiber front splitters? I don't see why that would not be ok but thought I would ask. Craig

I just tinted my M5 yesterday. Went with Llumar/FormulaOne classic (dye only, non ceramic) 30% on the front and rear side windows and 15% on the back glass. Have always used that combination because the larger back glass allows more light in the car so with that combo is actually makes everything look harmonious and even.

That pretty much looks just like the car I just bought Looks like I will do the 33% all around then look at a darker color for the rear window.
Anyone have thoughts on the clear bra up front?

I figure I can still use the real/side shades too which makes it even darker I didn't do any clear bra yet

I did 3m color stable 20 all around except windshield. From the outside at certain 90 degree angles you cant see in, really depends on the sun and your angle. If you want black this is the way to go.

Did you have privacy glass from the factory on the rear doors, or were all 4 doors clear?
Thanks!
