In a word - yes!

This assumes that it isnt factory fitted dark glass (which it almost certainly wont be)

My M5 had window tints that looked ghastly! Far far too dark.

the rule of thumb is that the better the tint, the easier it comes off I think. they usually peel off with a razor blade - but go careful!

The one to be really careful off is the rear window - dont forget the demister element -you can easily damage it if not careful!

Sounds like a nightmare job,probably easier to buy one without tints. When the windows are tinted is it just asheet of film they stick to the window.

most of the time it is yes, and it tends to be applied with washing up liquid which makes it nie on impossible to remove!
