I am planning on not tinting the windows at all because the entire tinting process makes me nervous. I would be more concerned about wetting the Bang and Olufsen speakers than the suede. The suede is fake suede. It's Alcantara. That will be fine.

However they need to remove the brake light cover which can cause rattles. If the tint is too thick it can cause window rattles particularly on the front side windows. There's also risk of water damage on the dash.

If you go to a reputable tinter u should not have any problems

That is what I am worried about. I have full leather too. Speakers we are using plastic to cover. But if you don't tint car and live in GA summers are unbarable. Never had any rattles or issues like that on previous 5 bmws that had tint though. Doors are easy. Rear window is always issue

I tint every car I own, including the front windshield, for the last 18 years i have been driving. They will get water everywhere but it all comes up just fine. Im assuming since it is alcantra it wont matter but my wires 2011 535 is tinted all the way around and not a single issue what so ever.. go to a licensed 3m dealer. the windshield makes a TON of difference. get a ticket now and then but worth it in Miami
