I'd go with Marco at North Shore Tint (no affiliation). He did mine and a friend's and they look awesme. He does a lot of high end cars for athletes as well, he did a couple of Lebron James' (doubled up the darkest tint, 5%). I don't remember the cost, though it was fair.

Before you drop $200 on a tint job, make sure you will not have scratching issues. Many of us have had to add a moleskin product to the second, lower wiper that touches our windows. Fresh out of the box it is plastic and will scratch your tinted windows. google tintprotector well worth the $30 investment.

Those are already on the way!

My rear windows started to get scratched soon after visiting Florida going to the beaches. I assumed I got sand inside my window tracks but I will have to look into this. It only happened to the rear windows of my 335 sedan

I'm not sure what kind of tint Northshore uses, but there's a guy on the east side in Willoughby, Preston's Sun Control, he uses metalized tint which prevents the tint from fading, turning purple, or bubbling. He also offers a full warranty on his work. Does a really nice job at a very fair price.

I just bought my first bmw but before that I had a truck for 6 years (tint on from day 1) and by the time i got rid of my truck, the tint looked just as good as it did from day 1.

Key thing is to make sure they use good film.

Tint Pros in Parma. The guy to talk to is Frank Dauria. They do a lot of tint for dealerships in the area like Lexus, Mercedes, etc. They are off Tideman and 480 basically.
