I got my new BMW two years ago.(early 2023) I didn't get it tinted until August 2024. the tint that I got was the xpel "xr plus" with 35% all around except the windshield. I also had the panoramic glass roof tinted with same 35% tint. The windshield just has a 5% strip on the top, also xpel xr plus.

This week was the first really cold winter experience since then. I'm trying to figure out if it's my imagination that the car feels colder even under full bright sunlight? outside temperature was about 32 degrees. The seats felt really cold when I got inside. Before I had any tint, the car felt somewhat warm when parked outside under the same conditions. Is the tint just basically doing what it's supposed to be doing by blocking out the sun's heat, even in the middle of winter?

Yes.
