Legal window tint % in Austria?

Hello,

My new F10 M5 comes with 67% window tint on the back windows, and 20-25% on the front windows.

I was wondering whats the legal limit for window tint in Vienna(I'm also a Diplomat, so maybe i can get away with more), i have seen several cars with very black window tints(almost black limo window tint which is like 75%ish), so i was wondering if i can possibly go darker than what the car comes with?

Thanks!

I think window tint percentage indicates the amount of light being transmitted. So you have darker windows in the front? That is retarded

67% window tint on the back windows, which obviosuly means that its blocking 67% of the light, and 20-25% on the front windows, which means that its blocking that amount of light.

What dont you get?

its probably different in Austria but here 67% means that 67% of light comes in. thats why limos have like 5% tint. i dunno the laws there tho

Over here its the other way around. 20% means only 20% of the light gets through and so on.

I am sure factory tint will be fine.
