Glass, Which colour tint?

Post by e21Keith »

Does the glass have the same colour tint from an '83 316 and an '81 323i? Both cars have factory glass and no drug dealer after market tinting.

Many thanks

Blank glass was standard with optional green or bronze tinted glass.

I thought the UK spec 6-cylinder cars had Bronze as standard but not so sure about the 4-cylinder cars.

When I look at the two cars I can't see a difference in the glass but I'm pretty terrible at colours, I must be colour blind!!

OK, having carefully checked and obtained a second opinion I can confirm that both the '83 316 and the '81 323i have bronze tint, which is good news because I don't need to swap the glass over, just the opening rear quarters.
