  1. Thanks for the response! So in other words a 3M 35% CS is probably going to meter out similarly to the Galaxie I used in the past? Within that range my options are CS 35%, IR 35% or IR 25% if we skip the FX-HP. I’m worried that 25% will be too dark. Really wish they carried the CS or IR in 30%.
  2. I’m looking for some advice on film for my new car. I’ve historically had 35% Solar Guard Galaxie installed on all my VWs and really enjoyed the look of it. I think they metered out at 28%ish the last time I got pulled over. Now I just picked up a 3 series BMW and the shop I want to use carries 3M products. They have FX High Performance 5,15,20,30,35&50%, Color Stable 5,20,35&50% and Ceramic IR 5,15,25,35&50%. In my reading it seems like 3M’s advertised percentage is what your end result is, so I’m not sure what film or percentage to go with. I don’t care about heat rejection, just get tint for looks as I’m in Wisconsin. What would you recommend? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!
  3. I own a 2022 BMW M340i and am looking to get it tinted. I came across a thread on Bimmerpost talking about how certain tint causes the dash light sensors to think it’s dark outside during the day. Seems like ceramic and IR blocking tint causes these issues. I’ve called 5-10 3M tint installers as well as 3M where I spoke to one of their tint engineers.…none of them have heard of the issue. So I don’t know if it’s a widespread problem or if certain cars are more sensitive to it for some reason. Have any of you seen this issue? Also, given the potential issues, what are your thoughts on 3M FX or 3M Color Stable? I see that people running FX have the fewest issues, but don’t know if it’s junk or not?
