Weathertech techshade

Anyone have this? How is fitment? Apparently BMW decided not to make a sunshield for our cars... TX summer is brutal, and I'm tired of burning my fingertips off every time I get in the car.

I been using these for like 15 years now, they are the best since you never need to remove anything, it stays on the windsheild with 3M double sided tape

Interesting. Does it fit under the mirror well?

Covercraft UV11245BL - Series Heat Shield Custom Fit Windshield Sunshade for Select BMW 6-Series Models - Laminate Material (Blue Metallic) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009B9H9VE..._ow.rBb6QJAMBE

I ordered this one as I have to deal with the Texas sun as well. I got it from amazon for $20 but it looks like it is up to $60+ now for some reason.

It fits well and is easy to put up/take down. Slides nicely into the inside of the passenger leg well where it is mostly out of the way for anyone riding with you.

I have this and ceramic tint on my front windshield and it is still bloody hot getting into the car after it sitting out in the sun all day at work. That being said it's not unbearable hot like it was before I got it, so I'll say it does help. The bigger noticeable difference was putting the ceramic tint on though if you are looking better options.

+1 for the covercraft. Have had these for my last two cars, they fit well and I use it on a daily basis

I bought this one, too. It was $60 in 4/2017 when I bought it; I guess you got a much better deal before that.

Good fit and quality.

The Techshade with shipping ended up being $58, so pricing is very close.
