Windshield tint and HUD, Toll Tag

Just picked up my M3 and was looking to tint the car with Photosync tint.
I have HUD and am concerned the time will interfere w it. Also, any toll tag problems?
Seems like a pain w the yearly inspection sticker.
Any advice would br appreciated.
Thanks

No toll tag problem. They cut out a small rectangular shape for the yearly inspection sticker on mine. I don't have HUD so I will let others comment on that.

I think this is like the 4th time I have said this lol.

Tint has no effect on HUD. BMW's HUD is a reflection off of your front windshield. It doesn't effect the HUD. I'm not sure on the tollway pass however, ceramic tints don't effect things in general, I wouldn't be sure on the older metallic tints. With the front windshield tinted, it just reflects off of your slightly darker windshield, that's it.
