Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you an update that I lightened up the tint to 35% and it seems to be interferring less with the auto-dimming sensor. It still dims a little, but not as much as when I was running 15% all-around. So now it's 35% for the front 2 windows and 15% for all rear. |

Had my windows tinted yesterday at 35% and noticed the aggressive auto-dimming effect this morning. Shining my phone flashlight on the area to the left of the driver display brightened up both displays.

I went 70% on the windshield, 18% front, and 5% rear, and have no auto-dimming issues. This is my second M340i (first one was lemon lawed, long story), but the first one did not have any issues with 18% front/5% rear either—obviously it had other, persistent issues!

I'm really curious about why your previous M340 was lemon law'ed. Would you mind sharing or do you have a separate write-up somewhere?

The car was in service for 45 days over the course of the first 55 days of me owning it, and BMWUSA’s own area engineer couldn’t find a fix. They replaced the mics first, but that did nothing; and then they replaced the audio module but then could no longer calibrate the mics. BMW finally agreed to do a VIN swap, and since they couldn’t find another M340i at my MSRP, they wrote me a check for the difference. I’m still peeved since I made two payments on the first car, but was driving very poorly equipped loaners, and I spent $600 getting the first car tinted for no reason. BMW has declined any compensation aside from the difference in the MSRP. |

Speaking of sensors, are there any sensors to the right of the driver display, left of the central display? I know that cars with gesture control have their sensore on both sides of the central display, but I'm not sure if there are any sensors other that those.

Wow, sorry to hear about the issues you had... I know a handful of people in here (including myself) have had incidents relating to speakers and/or mics., https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1615200 I'd definitely fight for compensation on those tinted windows. That's not right. Thanks for sharing the story.

Thanks! It was a drawn out dilemma, and BMW was pretty sheisty throughout. Silver lining is that I was on the fence about Dravit Grey and regretted it every time I saw the bronze metallic elements in direct sunlight. I am much happier with SBM/Cognac |

Any new updates?? I just got mine 5% on rears and 18 on front and now all my screens are dimming I just emailed my SA and see if there's a way around it... considering they do in house tinting I couldn't see them not having a way around it

I have both G01 X3 and a G20 330i.. They each have 30% tint on them (X3 from the dealer was already installed, the 330 I had done.) Both have issues with the dimming during the daytime. I drive the 330 mostly, and I've noticed that it is usually happening when the sun is coming in from the passenger side angle.
It is frustrating that there is no way to override the minimum on the photo sensor. |

Tint issues
I had 35% tints for about 2 weeks now. It was fine the first week, but it was cloudy yesterday and I noticed the dimming. It would change if I opened the window. I don't see it being much an issue in the summer due to sunny days. But I imagine this getting annoying in the Fall or Winter.

I would like to know if you guys are leaving your headlight switches on off or AUTO? Wonder if that would make a difference.
I never use the auto function and would like to know before tinting the car. This could get really annoying in overcast & rainy Seattle Fall / Winter / Spring weather
