I have one more question, are the 1 Series' windows tinted? If so, what percent. Also, if not, is it a factory or dealer installed option and how much does it cost?

Response:

35% is legal on the front windows, 20% ok in back. 299 installed.

Just get the windows tinted at a tint shop you can get it for atleast $100 cheaper, just go to a trusted place. The place i go to usually charges between 150 and 199, and they only use the best tint. Plus they give you a warrenty too. You could save yourself a 100 bucks

You could get it cheaper at a different place, But I would pay the extra 100$ to get it done at BMW because they know what they are doing, I got my tints done at my local BMW accessories shop and they did a great job. I paid 300$ plus tax.

Professional tint shops should warranty their work and if you go to the right place.. will do a great job. I, personally, wouldn't pay $300 for tint no matter what..

$300 for tint is just crazy, go to a good tint shop they give you a warrenty if they dont look at another shop.... if you got money to waste then get it done at the dealership

Well the tint itself is actually dirt cheap.. its almost paying for full labor and I think it also depends on your region. Here in SoCal there are a million tint shops and a lot of the tend to price really competitvely. I have seen as low as under $100 including warranty although I wouldn't mind paying somewhere along $200 as others have stated for a quality referenced shop.
