I haven't had any issues with screen dimming since the tints either. Regular carbon tints

What percentage tint it likely to lead to you getting pulled over is going to be very specific to your location. For me in FL, no one is pulling anyone over strictly for tint alone. Maybe they use it as an excuse for something else they wanted to pull you over for but had no legal standing to do so. But other then that, it doesn't matter if you have 70%, 35%, double 5%, or silver reflective "limo tint". It pretty much never happens.
If you are above legal limits and you get pulled over for something else, then they may put a meter on the car and add that to your infractions, but pulling you over only for tint being too dark is generally unheard of here. Me personally, 30% is way too light for my personal tastes of how the car looks from the outside. I had 28% all around on my first ever car (to match legal limit in FL for front windows) and since then I've had 13-18% depending on brand. 20% would be my sweet spot but most places in my area don't carry that as it's an in-between with most lines of tint. Every here always has 5, 15, 30 and up. Last edited by HDClown; 07-27-2021 at 06:12 PM.. |

Formula One Pinnacle 15 installed on sides/rear last week and certainly have dimming depending on location of sun and amount of cloud cover.
Overall not a big concern for me on a day by day basis as I'm primarily looking at the HUD or quick glance at iDrive for the name of a song that is playing. Had one instance on road trip this weekend where I was trying to do some stuff with the NAV and things dimmed down all the way and it was a little difficult but was still doable. When it dims down the lowest you can still read things as long as you don't have sunglasses on. I'll take the dimming over 35% tint, which I find to be too light, aesthetically, from the outside. Couldn't find anyone who carried 20% in any high quality tint or would have gone with that. I do intend to get a www.bimmerlight.com when they are available. |

This is how 35% looks from inside the vehicle on a sunny day, and another shot with against some shade

2022 X5 M Competition - Same Issue
Just had my X5 tinted and same issue with instrument and control panel dimming. You can actually shine my cell phone light in the lower left hand corner of the instrument panel and that corrects it while it's on it. Going to try some non-ceramic coating and a little less darker, in hopes that fixes the issue. BMW needs to get a fix out for this one.

There is nothing BMW needs to fix since the issue is caused by the tint that we added on our own. But what BMW should do is give us the ability to turn this auto brightness feature off like the one on our cellphones. I dont need my cellphone to adjust the brightness on its own. 99.99% of the time the auto brightness is not what i wanted. For those who like this feature, keep it on. I am just surprised out of all the options that we have in iDrive, BMW decided that we dont need to have the option to turn this feature off. Last edited by oonowindoo; 05-18-2022 at 05:02 PM.. |
