Has anyone got the sun blind kit for an E91?

Was thinking of getting the windows tinted, but wondered what these were like as a different option!

I had mine tinted when I got my latest purchase as have used the rear sunblinds before. For some stupid reason I nearly always press the back window switch when wanting to lower the front window unless I look at what I am doing. Result with the sunblinds is they rip the suction cups off the bling making them useless. Save your money and get the windows tinted.

I think mine are something like a 35% tint which is dark enough with the black head lining and the little one can still see out which keeps him occupied.

I do that on a weekly basis

Oh, suction cups? really? ffs! I hated the E91 boot liner because of the stupid suction cups on the windows that never really worked.

Thought they might have been something like these: http://www.nm-motorsport.com/acatalo...un-Blinds.html

Not sure if the genuine ones use suction cups or not but the cheap supermarket ones we did used them and as I say did not last long. Both cars now tinted.

Just got a price from BMW, apparently the blind kit clips on, and they want £238 for it!

So it costs slightly less to have them tinted! ..... proper tinting it is.

Good link , have sent of for quote, I'm based in South Norfolk , don't mind a journey to get the best job done, have read reports about problems with the Dot matrix on rear screen also on rear quarter lights in back doors . wish i could make a decision who to go to !!!

[Shane.]

£220 or if a few of you want it done can do a group buy

We've got tints and factory rear door blinds on the tourer.

Having had no tints, but with factory blinds on my previous E90 (and the rear window electric blind), I can say the blinds keep the car much cooler / dimmer than tints.

Tints don't really make any difference other than look dark from outside.

If you have kids, when the sun is beaming on them thru tints, the blinds are 10 times better at blocking heat and brightness.

BTW BMW accessory blinds clip on without suckers so you can open the windows while they're on.

Interesting post, thanks.

Not got kids, it's more to help keep the dog cooler in the boot.

Hello mate, Just got back with the car, Will attach thread here with pics shortly. Looks very good, Only think there told me what a lot of people don't do/forget is about 1 week later u need to run your finger over the dotted matrix to get perfect look, As i was leaving there had just picked up a brand new land rover 62 plate to be tinted
