I searched this forum and did not find a thread about front window tinting in BC. Last month I imported my X and 3 into BC. In California I had 70% tint applied to the front windows, both sides (that is legal there). When I had the required provincial inspection done on my cars prior to registering them I was told the tint had to be removed because in BC no tinting is allowed and the cars could not pass inspection with the tint in place. So the tint was removed.
I miss the UV and IR protection that a tint provides (obviously Vancouver is not as sunny as California but there are still plenty of sunny warm days here in summertime). 3M makes a Crystalline Series CR90 tint with 90%VLT which is barely noticeable visually. See https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00016683/ . Now that my cars are registered I’m considering having it installed and taking my chances. Anyone in BC used that tint?
