I have to agree with Alex. No matter how dark it is it should def be black. When I got mine tinted I was considering a dark blue, b/c my 325 is dark blue. However guys that did my tint strongly recommended a straight black tint b/c the colored ones tend to look cheap. I was glad I took their advise.
Sure, black is the safe choice. But if you want to go blue it is easy, let them show you a sample of how it looks. If it looks cheap, then it is black. If it suits your taste, then blue it should be. I've seen blue in buses, and it surely looked ugly and cheap. But I've seen some blues in nice looking cars that really did add a nice touch.
That was about colours, now about having a dark or a clear tint: 5%, 10%... anything too dark IMHO is not as good looking as the clearer tints. Maybe if you had a white bimmer you could go as dark as you please, but since you have... well... the opposite of a white bimmer... It is like wearing all plain black clothes. Where is the contrast? You would probably end up looking like a dork
BMW 316i Hellrot - '95 Sedan (German version) - Almost there! Next repairs: mouldings. My bimmer has an A/C unit, finally!!!
