+ super inexpensive to replace as I always lose/break my sunglasses traveling, partying, or drinking

70% on my M3 and wife's X3. No difference in visibility but you gain heat and UV rejection. I was hesitant to do this at first but will do it always now. Just be careful with anything you need to stick to the windshield - I use those clear cling things.

Well, you guys were right. The HUD is brighter with the tint!

Also, somehow my polarized Maui Jims are able to still see the HUD quite well. Darkened quite a bit, but still visible.

Glad you found the same, it definitely helps! Added perk for sure.

Following up on this. Switched my sunglasses to perscription. Got Zeiss lenses, polarized, blue mirror tint (forget the name). It has reduced the brightness of the HUD by maybe 40-50%, but it's still visible.
