1M Sun Shade

etr2016 · 05-29-2016, 01:49 PM

I'm a new 1M owner and live in AZ. Even though the car is driven sparingly, I wanted a good sun shade. I bought the OEM BMW shade, the Cover Craft, and then this Heat Shield. The BMW shade sucks. I cannot believe something that is OEM can have such a poor fit. Around the rear view mirror it had some gaps. The cover craft one wasnt much better - which made me think that the hard shades just dont have the flexibility required for a good fit. I ended up with the Heat Shield that has a good fit, and doesn't need the rear view visors to be brought down to hold it into place...Some pics and link.

This is the OEM sunshade. I agree w/ OP that it is not a very good fit. Will have to check out the heat shield thanks for the tip OP.

I have the Ultimate Sun Shade from Bav Auto. It is the best sunshade I have ever owned. It is a custom fit shade for the 1M and it folds very easily and came with its own storage bag. Highly recommend this shade over all others.

The Bav Auto part number is: BM-36-R
