Well it is definitely dark and pretty low in my opinion. you can still easily see if someone is beside you or in your blind spot. I do occasionally roll my windows down around town just to be safe around the curbs.

Not sure if that helps haha best way is to go to your tint shop or friends and see what they have in their cars. My guy has a sweet slightly lifted Crosstrek on 33's and has the same window setup with 38% on the front windshield. I think that would be too much for me so if I do front windshield I'll stick with 50%.

@Dreaming Thank you for the feedback. My younger brother has 25% all around on his M340 and whenever he is driving in town like you said he rolls down his windows as well to be on the safe side.

During the day it feels like its not that dark but at night it definitely looks pretty dark so I was curious to hear about your experience with 15%.

A friend of mine had an X5M with 70% on wind shield and 5% all around. (Have no idea how he could see anything at night) It was ridiculous..

I've been rocking 15% on all windows and rear window and 50% on the windshield since the second day.

Night driving on dark roads is a challenge. I find myself having to lower rear and side shades for better parking visibility most days

Thank you for the feedback, I think I will go with 25% all around with no tint on the windshield or maybe like 80-90% whatever is available just so that it blocks some of the sun light out here in CA.

You have an absolutely gorgeous car, I'm sure its a head turner even in south FL.

Okay, so here are two sets.

1st one being my 2018 -- second is her replacement (also moved homes, so the new garage isn't up to par yet).

Who's on first · 02-17-2022, 12:26 PM

2021 Replacement

Looks slick. Didn't know you can get body colour rear bumper ( around the diffuser). It was that painted by you?

I think the competition gets the black diffuser. Non-comp gets body color.

So I was going through my car pics tonight and thought this was kind of cool. I worked at the same company for almost 6 years. During my time there I had a Gen 2 CTS-V, then an F10, and finally a F90. I always parked in the same space as it was far out of the way and no one parked near me. I left that company at the end of March last year and it dawned on me while passing by the parking garage tonight that I didn't have a pic of my LCI there.

@VeNoM__M5 😍 your car looks absolutely flawless and whoever took these photos is a true artist. Those rolling shots look like it belongs to marketing brochure from BMW

Here is the video to match!!!

Neptune7 · 02-23-2022, 04:40 PM

Superlative video. Only minor tweak I may consider is the M5 CS spoiler. Great spec. The pre LCI headlights are timeless.
