[quote=mixxalot]Problem is at night hard to tell level of tint compared to day time. Cop was being a jerk meeting his quota.
Anyways, tomorrow I will get it looked at local pigsty and hopefully it passes the truffle sniff test. Car was a CPO bought from local dealer and a prior lease of new car so doubt it had extra non factory tint added.[/quote]
There is no such thing as factory tint on a BMW sedan that was for north america for the past few years. BMW never had an option for “privacy glass” on North America cars, with the exception of SUV’s like X5 and X3, and then it was only offered as an option for the rear windows. European BMW 5 series had this option, but it would only be available if someone previously took european delivery of your car. So unless your car was purchased via the ED program, it’s most likely an aftermarket tint film, not smoked glass.
