My sisters always complain that the? sun in the rear seat. I guess next time, I will order my next car with it.

i didn't order the shades just because i rarely have anyone sit in the back. but it'll be very useful if you have more than two people in the car all the time.

[/quote]I love in Florida, it's summer here year round, and yes the do keep the car cooler, but this car also has the best AC I have ever had in a car. My last Bimmer was a 2002 330i and the AC was not great. Good Luck

i bought mine in wal-mart for $6.39 or something like that. it has foam, spray, or cream/lotion. foam is the newest and the bottle says it's easiest to apply .

Yeah... I'm probably the farthest thing from reality.

1. No food or drink allowed in the back seat.
2. No climbing on the seats with shoes on (even in the process of seating yourself)
3. No toys in the car. They can go in the trunk.
4. Lower and raise the shades carefully only when needed.
5. Open the doors carefully when exiting.
6. Hands and face must be washed with soap before getting in the car, especially after meals. This keeps stains off the seat belts
7. No touching the windows. The prints annoy Daddy.
The privilege of riding in the car includes the occasional voice command to choose CD or track of their choice or to watch Druth (NAV Lady) guide us to a destination even if we know where we are going. Failure to adhere to these rules means we ride in Mommy's Honda Odyssey.

Hey Hormazd,
Mine are 2 & 5 (both girls) so my theories are a little different.
1. No food or drink allowed in the back seat.
Yeah.. Tried that. I find that they are quieter while something is in their mouths.
Leather cleans up rather easilly, thankfully.
2. No climbing on the seats with shoes on (even in the process of seating yourself)
That worked for a few weeks. Now I'm just happy if they get IN the car.
3. No toys in the car. They can go in the trunk.
Depends on which toys.
4. Lower and raise the shades carefully only when needed.
No shades. Whish I had them.
5. Open the doors carefully when exiting.
I use the child safety locks. Only I can open the doors.
6. Hands and face must be washed with soap before getting in the car, especially after meals. This keeps stains off the seat belts
Let me know how you do this without them getting near your car, nevermind getting IN your car
7. No touching the windows. The prints annoy Daddy.
Yup. Reminds me... Gotta clean my windows.
At the end of the day (and the beginning, for that matter), my girls are #1. The 5 is just a car. Granted I LOVE my car, but you know what I'm saying.
And they DO spend most of the time in the minivan . I can't wait for BMW to realease their minivan. It may be too late for me but we'll see.
