Window tinting and instrument dimming
Hi guys. Just picked up my 330i this week and was wanting to get it tinted but I've seen in the general thread a bunch of people with instrument cluster dimming issues with tint. Anyone in Australia got this issue? I'm in Melbourne, any suggestions of a good place to tint?

I have issue with excessive dimming. 3/2019 build car and ceramic tint.
It's not disastrous but certainly would like it to be brighter in certain circumstances, especially when I have my sunglasses on. The HUD works fine and all the essential info are there anyway. |

I think it's pretty subjective
I went to Rayno S9 25%, which is I think the highest IR rejection one for that brand The cluster def looks a bit less bright and vibrant, but does it make it hard for me to see > no |

I went 20% all around and it does make the display hard to see in certain instances how we I find myself always looking at the HUD therefore not a huge concern for me

With regard to using sunglasses, polarized sunglasses do not work well with the HUD, so I use non-polarized sunglasses, which work fine.

There is no fix unfortunately, aside from changing your tint to a low (or no) IR blocking type.

It's illegal to tint the front windows over here 👎🏻 My prescription polarised Oakley's make everything clearer 🤓 |
