Hi Guys,

The other day I removed my black window tint on my 2011 135i, because they were 20% and I got tired of getting tickets. So right now I'm all plain and it looks like a big fish tank featuring me.

I was thinking of doing Mirror Window Tint, but in a lighter version like 42%, but I don't know if that type of tint will actually look good on my white car.

I was wondering if any of you have done this, or have at least seen a white 135i with it. I tried a google search but couldn't find anything, so I was thinking it doesn't look good?

How many black interiors are we talking about?

This somehow reminds me of that Elvis song...something about "in the ghetto"....

I hate mirror tint. Does nothing but blind me.

Not a fan of mirror tint either, go with a nice smoked or charcoal ceramic tint.

Please, go Ceramic. It will achieve the same properties you want without the odd look of straight mirror tint.

I have 50% Madico Advance Ceramic on mine:

Why not get regular charcoal tint to the legal % if you're already getting ticketed often?

OP, mirror tint is a little on the side of rice. Eclipses rock mirror tint along with their big spoilers and ugly Pep Boys graphics. I would look into getting regular tint at the legal %. Maybe invest in some good sunglasses as well.
