How much did you pay to tint the M3 windows? How much is too much?

[kingmonkeyjr]

The new stuff out is Nano. It blocks 98% so keeps extremely cool. For all windows including windshield it's around 800-1000 depending on where you live .. ultimately depends on what type of tint you choose.

I was quoted $600 by a shop and I was shocked at that. Found a much more reasonable shop to do xpel xr for $300.

[DecemberStorm]

i did xpel xr for $350, it does the job and blocks 88% heat.

xr plus is the new fancy nano ceramic tech with 98% heat rejection, would've run double the money at the few local shops that carry the film

I got everything but the windshield for a bit less than $400. Don't recall the brand of tint, though

Got mine done with Rayno Phanton S9 Nano Ceramic film. Limo on all windows and 50% on front windshield. Same setup I do on my trucks etc. No the BEST to drive at night with but Im in a bright city so its doable.

The S9 has the nano ceramic additives etc and claims 98%. So far so good.

Cost was $750 for everything installed in about 4 hours in Los Angeles.

XPEL XR quoted at $375 in S. Fla

I have my guy in SFL does it for $175, $50 for the windshield. Its not nano but worked great on my IS and still is looking good on the IS after 10 years. I havent asked him about the m4 since it isnt here yet, but i dont expect it to be 600.

My sides and rear ceramic Panaflex (80% heat rejection) was $480. He said the Nanoflex (98% heat rejection) would have been $680.

Actually just had this done this week with Avery's nano-ceramic product prices include install for a G80 M3 in Texas.

25% front windows, 20% rear windows, 20% rear glass- $550
50% front windshield - $250

[phxF80]

18% all the way around but no windshield. Was 550

[snareman]

I just had to have my driver side window redone. It was all fine until I took the car for the 1200mi service and immediately afterwards the front corner started peeling back. I can't imagine they did anything with the windows at it, but it was DIRECTLY after the visit. Seems like an odd coincidence. The worst part is waiting the 3 days to roll my window down again.

I wonder if it's possible to see how dark the percentages are before ordering. Any guides? I currently have tints on my current car but don't know what percentage it is.

[moproblems]

Xpel IR plus all the way around for 650.

Usually shops will have some demo glass with tint on it that you can look at.

LLumar Statos 35% all doors, windows. Windshield Air 90% all in at $550.00

[Delmoney335]

I’ve always gotten 3M CS 20% all around, Minus windshield and pay about $200. Not ceramic but I always lease , not paying 6-800 for tint on a car i won’t be keeping.

[PokGuy]

Average prices in CA:

XPel XR Prime Plus Nano Ceramic
$600 for all 5 windows
$250 for front windshield
I paid $750 after discount (on my g80)

Llumar CTX Ceramic
$375 for all 5 windows
$135 for front windshield
I paid $450 for everything (on my f82)

Can I feel a difference? Not enough difference for $300 more. CTX Ceramic did the job just fine on my f82 m4. Hope this helps

I get what you're saying, but you could probably realistically say that about any aspect of the car though to some degree. I don't want to pay an extra $5,000 for carbon fiber parts because I'm only going to have the car for 3 years.

That's True. But it's window tint. I've had no issues with the 3M over the years. Just saying I wouldn't pay 500 + for tint specifically when the difference is negligible
