Passenger window replacement

(Unluckily) I took a large stone to my passenger side window. It would have shattered but the tint kept it together. Is factory window tint a thing?
I looked on realoem.com and it showed it was in production, but I asked at the Stealership today for a quote, and they said it only came in clear glass.

I noticed that the window size looks like its the same in other 4-series models.
Can anyone confirm this?
Im thinking of replacing it myself as it doesn't seem too difficult.

Better than the door I suppose!? Shouldn't be too difficult. Just make sure to protect all the surrounding paintwork.

I would not do any glass work myself, especially on a frameless car door window. There are these adjustments you need to make and each adjustment affects another one. This affects how it closes and rolls up and down.

However, some have gotten lucky and was able to just drop it in and no adjustment needed or if you are extremely patient you can keep working on the adjustments.

I'm not sure if ISTA can adjust this though as I haven't done it on a BMW but I had this done on my last car because the rails scratched the glass due to alignment.
