I Found a new "feature".....

cdheaven · 10-11-2005, 07:24 PM

Its nothing THAT exciting. Its not a sweet electronic gizmo or anything like that..... Im not even 100% positive this is what its for. but im pretty sure.
My friend and i were on the way to the bank today and it was waaaayy hot and bright, so we put the little sunvisor down,and im looking at his, and the half facing me didnt look like it was in the visor all the way. like the plastic frame was sticking out. so i looked at mine, and it was the same. so i took my bank slips and stuff that i had, and slid it in there, and it held it fine. so im guessing its purposelly made with that little gap so that you can put papers,maps,money,credit cards or 10293498 other things in there. you might have to walk out to your car to totally understand what im talking about.
on the drivers side, flip down the visor, and the right have will have the gap.

Can you post a picture?

cdheaven · 10-11-2005, 07:28 PM

it would be easier for you to walk out to your car and see exactly what im talking about, then for me to walk out to mine, take a picture, then post it. plus it would be hard to see in the picture because its a 1/o39843 inch gap.

chrissal1 · 10-11-2005, 07:29 PM

I'll check it out...getting the car within the week :-)

cdheaven · 10-11-2005, 07:33 PM

o. i didnt know you didnt have the car. sorry. if this was some life changing feature that no one knew about, but everyone wanted and people stopped buying lexus's and benz's to have, i would have ran out and took a picture, but its not that big of a deal

thd13 · 10-11-2005, 07:48 PM

haha. Good find. It's definitely better to find a new "little feature" than to find rattles or something that's wrong with your car.

lumberman · 10-12-2005, 07:44 AM

I also found this feature few days ago, I use it for carpark ticket, but I didn't go thru the trouble to post because I tot everyone already know this

LEDZEP · 10-12-2005, 07:54 AM

I've been using that for a long time. My wife has a parking pass and when we swap cars she needs that and it's a great place to keep it.

lwongveros · 10-12-2005, 10:34 AM

yup, have been using it since day 1 to put the office parking card...

me too.....

I just walked out to my car to look for it. Pretty cool! I never noticed that and it's a great little feature. They think of almost everything! I had my office parking card in the center console and it was a pain opening it and looking for it everyday.

I love this forum. It brings a whole new appreciation to owning a car that has such a great following.

A CD fits perfectly there.... so I stick one CD on each sunvisor.... It's very useful indeed

poldim · 10-13-2005, 07:48 PM

Interesting way to integrate storage for CD's by BMW...

noflash · 10-14-2005, 07:14 AM

I too was ignorant of this secret feature.

I was just about to burn an mp3 cd for the car as I am constantly forgetting my ipod. Now I can burn three!

Thanks.

Until you flip the visor down and let the direct sun beat on them. That might be a problem.

MCS · 10-14-2005, 07:42 AM

Thanks, Nice post. I did not notice the clip on the visors until checking it out last night after reading.

I thought we were talking about the inside of the visors?
