So, 30% of the door window is not covered by the sun visor when you pivot it over. Do we have any solutions for it other than not driving during sunlight?

Hmm, wife and I discussed that early this morning cruising in the M3 cause our 2012 Toyota Highlander has sun visor extenders that work quite well. Must be this time of year more noticeable with the sun at a lower southern angle in the midwest.

I would suggest tinting the front windscreen. I added 50% Llumar Formula One to the front and I'm very happy that I did.

So, trade your M4 in for a Toyota or Hyundai. Better yet, lemon law it.

I would look into front windshield tinting but I do have 20% tints all around.

You could get these cheezy-looking visor extenders:



But hey, if it's a safety issue...
