Will a 3 Series sunshade fit an M3?

Or is there a change in the windshield/mirror placement? I have a good deal on a covercraft 3 series sunshade but wont have my car for another month or so to see if it will fit.

Thanks!

Are you sure that the dealer didn't pull a E90 one?

Don't get the OEM one..

Covercraft UVS100 is the best one out there. Way more durable and it seems to deflect heat better. It's also cheaper.

Plus, it doesn't have that HUGE BMW lettering that screams PLEASE BASH MY WINDOW.

2014 335i Covercraft UVS100 fits a 2015 M3 like a glove. Just got one last week.

The covercraft screen looks solid; I picked one up on Amazon after reading the post.

I have one for my other car and aside from being kind of big and bulky, it works fantastic. Especially since it gets really hot down here.

The OEM BMW sunshade appears to be a rebadged Covercraft UVS100.

Also, the F3x sunshade fits the F8x.

I'm wondering what a good deal on these is... amazon offers $49.43 on "Covercraft UVS100 Heat Shield Custom Fit Windshield Sunshade for Select BMW 3-Series Sedan Models"

Apparently, the tool to match that to the car tells me it does not fit the F8x (which I doubt if it fits the F3x 2015 in parallel).

Would that be considered as a good offer or can someone link me to an even better one?

that's the one. Amazon says it doesn't fit an F80 because they haven't checked. they should say it'll fit a 2014 335i.

Thanks! Will definitely go for one ... also in Michigan there seems to be a lot of sunshine in summer.

There's also a bag for it, would you think this is a benefitial accessory?

I didn't get the bag. mine fits folded behind the seat and leans on the hump. you can always get it later if you want.

i bought this sunshade on Amazon for my 2018 F80:
(search Amazon for: UV11244SV)
I got the silver color one. I can confirm it does fit. I originally didn't like it too much though because it is very bulky (i.e. when folded up it still takes up a bit of space, annoying if you have passengers). But, I got used to it. Also, if it is really hot and sunny outside and the shade has been up for a long time, it gets HOT as hell to touch and fold up. But all in all I would buy it again for my F80.
