Windshield Sunscreen?

Drizz · 09-23-2014, 03:13 PM

So I'm leaning toward the CoverCraft sunscreen but noted that they do not have 2015 vehicle data in their system. I would assume the windshield and rearview mirror area would be the same in the 2014 335i Sedan as in my 2015 M3, right?

If anyone has any suggestions for a sunscreen also please share. Thanks!

I have this for my car and fits perfectly.

I purchased this and it doesn't fit perfectly, it seems as the M3 is a bit longer and there is a gap at the top if you use the 335i sunscreen. Or maybe I'm just putting it up wrong or expecting a perfect snug fit.

Thanks for the replies. The only reason I didn't go with the BMW one is I didn't want the huge "BMW" letters across it. Figure I've already got a bright blue (YMB) F80 that draws enough attention, so adding the BMW sunscreen is just asking for someone to go key my car.

Has anyone found a good sunshade for the M4? Will a regular 4 series one fit?

biggie27 · 10-30-2014, 12:09 PM

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy sunglasses ?

Seriously? The guy is asking a legitimate question.

YMB-M3-J2 · 10-30-2014, 02:13 PM

yes the 4 series one will fit.. I ended up just buying one of those regular ones that fold up into a little circle.. because i have a radar detector in the top part of my window near the mirror the BMW accordion style wasnt going to work.

dmk08 · 10-30-2014, 02:18 PM

I just tint my windshield.

BitchinManWheels · 10-30-2014, 02:41 PM

Even with a tinted windshield, the AZ sun is still too intense. A sunshade is a must in a parked car.
Thanks for the help!

Drizz · 10-30-2014, 03:01 PM

I bought a 3-series specific accordion style and it fits the F80 just right. Would image a 4-series specific would fit the F82 equally as well.

jondoc72 · 10-30-2014, 04:41 PM

I do recomend covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreens
I live in Orlando, and the sun hits hard here

I got one for my former 535i in 2012, the shade still looks new, no issues on my dashboard
It still going strong, now using it for my m3 ( doen not fit perfect but does the job)
will get one for the M3 ( any 3 series will fit )

For many, many years I have used a sunshade because of the intense Texas heat. When I bought the M4, I had the windshield tinted 70% at some people's recommendation. The tint is far more effective that a sun shade ever was!! I am sold and a believer. No more hassle with shades for me

BitchinManWheels · 11-18-2014, 11:44 AM

Just received my sunshade from Bavauto.com and it fits my M4 perfectly! I purchased the Bavarian Autosport Ultimate Reflector Windshield Sunshade part number BMW-68-R for a 2014 435i.

LwaLt · 11-18-2014, 12:49 PM

Love these shades on top of tint especially when there's some truck behind you with the mission to blind everyone on the road.

roadmax · 11-18-2014, 06:53 PM

Is the sunshade available from BMW as an option?
Someone got pictures?

JTmarlin · 09-29-2015, 10:55 PM

What sun visor do you use if any? If you can include link, i'd appreciate it. Would like to have something to protect the dash/when if parked outside in the heat. thx

SakhirM4 · 09-29-2015, 11:01 PM

Get 70% or 80% UV film on your windshield. It works fantastically and you don't have to mess with a visor.

BMW brand 4 series visor. Fits perfect - says BMW across the front. Bought it from the dealer, I think it was $65.

I got Covercraft (BMW OEM) sun shield from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Covercraft-UVS...ype=automotive

Fits perfectly, and doesn't have the large BMW lettering that I never cared for (you can get a version with BMW letters as well, if that's your preference).

That's the one I'm planning to get. I also don't like logos on the visor....there are enough logos on the car....
