Windscreen on a 540i: does it block UV?
Discussion
Just bought a 540. Great car, astonishing performance and handling for something so big and heavy. The M5 must be outrageous.
Having difficulties with my radar detector, which seems to be receiving a very low (and late) signal from speed cameras. Is there some kind of filter on the windscreen (presumably to keep the car cool in summer)?
If so, is this a removable film?
Thanks for any advice.

The tinted glass will block u/v. that is why your self darkening eyeglass lenses don't tint in the car on a sunny day.
As far as radar detection is concerned, radar is blocked/deflected by glass tinting that contains metallic material to cut light transmission or in the case of factory heated screens for the heating element.
