Tint on Arctic Metallic

asdflkijd · 08-06-2007, 07:40 PM

hello all, I'm getting ready to tint my Arctic Metallic E90, and for those with the car what kind of tint and % would you reccomend??

I searched on the forums and found that the F1 Pinnacle was one of the favorite along with the Hyper optic?? and there was another one starting with Llumar??

I dont want it too dark because at times, the Arctic Metallic paint can become very light.. I was hoping that there was some kind of tint that has like a bluish/ greenish hue to it.. Thanks for you're help in advance.

asdflkijd · 08-09-2007, 07:50 PM

I'm thinking of tinting it 20% all around.. what do you guys think? will it look good or bad on an arctic e90???

Nikki · 08-09-2007, 07:55 PM

I have 35% all around except windshield. I like the way it looks and it keeps out a lot of heat.

Here is one of my car and of a coupe without any tint.

The best looking tint you will find, especially for the Artic metallic and Titanium silver cars, is the Huper Optik 30 or maybe even HO 20. However, if you have Comfort Access it may interfere. Some have experience a problem and others have not...

HiYo2o · 08-02-2008, 08:54 PM

I'm thinking about getting tints for my E90 as well. I might just go 30-35% all around, I don't think it will look good to dark IMO.

redneck328i · 08-04-2008, 09:49 PM

get 15% all around thats what i have on mine.

I think that only applies to the Coupes.. The only problem with my tint so far is that there are dings from my seatbelt,

sometimes I get careless

Hey would love to see more pics of ur car. Got the same one and was planning on doing the same with wheels and tint...

E90Company · 07-15-2012, 01:58 PM

I would go 20% or lower on light colored interiors, 30% or lower on dark interiors.

dapz325 · 09-10-2013, 09:56 PM

So sorry i know this is way old but I got the same car and I'm thinking about doing a blueish mirror tint . I always thought this looked cheap till i saw it on a s class and i was shocked. It looks so executive , i like the "fresh" look of it . Opinions? and does anybody know what brands sell this ?

I would say no. Keep tints black.

I have 20% all around with black interior. I think it looks great.
