If a cop ever even notices 90% on the front windshield I'd be surprised, though that too is illegal (any aftermarket tint on the windshield is illegal in most states).

Are you buying your car from Sterling? I've got a 35i M-Sport on order through them for euro delivery in December. Just curious, who is your salesperson?
yeah, Jordan. BTW, one of the general managers doesn't care about low margin customers..... Mini CA is very friendly though.

Actually cops will not bust u for 35% tint alone. So 35% should be safe. I am hesitating for aesthetic reason and heat blocking reason. If heat blocking is almost same for 50% and 35%, I tend to have 50%. X1 glass area is comparatively small, too dark doesn't seem to go good with Marrakesh brown but good with white, black or blue. May go with 45% if available.
