Tint suggestions Marrakesh Brown?

Hey, any suggestions on tinting marrakesh brown?

I'm hesitating between all-50% and 50% for drivers sides w/ 35% for all others.

Noticed that 35% to the back may force the focus to front seat cabin. It matches good with the body curve, but may be makes the car more tiny?

Thanks

I did 35% on all windows (midnight blue X1) yesterday, it doesn't look too dark, in fact it looks a good bit lighter than the same tint on our 1er since there's so much more glass. I've never been a fan of the two tone effect of two darknesses.

I need to get pics up, but was out of town all last week and headed out of town this weekend again with no good chance to give this poor thing a proper detail.

Thx, Red Bread. Is 35% legal in TX or is it very-hard-to-get-a-cop? I'm in VA, kinda strict here.

2 tone is kinda wired, I agree.

30% is legal here. However I had my M Coupe with 30% tint in CA for a few years with no problems, I just left the windows down when pulled over and they never mentioned it. Now would probably be a bad time to mention I also don't run front plates.
