Compare BMW window tint quotes from specialist garages

Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success.

BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world.

Car window tinting involves applying a tinting film, usually made of polyester laminate, onto the inside of the glass window. This guide discusses how much it's likely to cost.

There are several benefits: it reduces UV radiation, gives extra privacy, stops the interior from fading in the sun and keeps heat in your vehicle (which is particularly beneficial during winter).

Does having a window tint also reduce heat? Yes - a window tint blocks sunlight from entering your car, so it stays cooler. It's a win-win!

What is the darkest legal tint? There aren't any rules about tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows. However, the law for front and side windows is based on the age of the vehicle. For vehicles used before April 1985, the windows must let at least 70% of light through; for vehicles used more recently, the windscreen must allow at least 75% of light through, and 70% for passenger windows.
