What tint is best for alpine white 135i

Hi I'm new here just picked up an alpine white 135
Any thought on what color/percent/style of tint I should get ?

I live in Washington state which isn't the sunniest clime as you know?

I've seen different shades and colors just not sure

Also how much should it cost?

Thanks

I currently have an AW with 35% or 40% all around except windshield I can post later. It cost about 180$ to be professionally done around my house (knew the guy who owned the shop).

I have an AW 128i with 40% Huper Optik ceramic all around and 80% Huper Opitk on the front windshield. The 40% looks dark since I have a black interior, but does not affect day/night visibility.

I went AW with 5% tints all the way around except for windshield. Windshield only has 5% sunstrip across the top, maybe 6-8 inches in width. It's really dark, but I love it
Goes great with the shadowline trim if you have it and if you plan on/have black rims or rims with some type of black accent
