Dallas, TX owners- where did you get your windows tinted - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

neilk · 08-08-2012, 01:21 PM

Sorry if this should go in a regional forum, but I was wondering where fellow F30ers getting their windows tinted in the Dallas area. How much did you end up paying?

My dealer said they would charge $140, but since they are in central Texas, if I had issues with bubbling etc, I wouldn't realistically be able to have them fix it.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Neil

P.S. Car is awaiting shipping after my ED, so I have too much time on my hands right now.

I can't answer your question as to where to go, but...

For a $140, they must just be quoting you a dyed tint. Nano-ceramic is going to be closer to $300, or so. Given Texas heat, I would splurge on the superior heat rejection of a nano-ceramic tint.

I may even splurge on the 3M crystalline, but that jacks the price to over $400 -- at least in Albuquerque.

I had my 328 tinted at AltaMere Dallas (http://www.altameredallas.com/). I opted for the ProShield (28% front/rear doors, 14% rear window) which came to $290 installed. I think it offers excellent heat rejection and look great too!
