I just surf through this accessories BMW website (http://accessories.bmwusa.com/ItemVi...&productId=946). It seems that we are able to add the rear shade even after the car left manufacture without it as an option. Can someone confirm this?

Wonder if this option is only for the 08 models or if the 04,05,06,07 can get this as well? Huh

@DINAN530I - It's there. They don't call it "rear shade" but "Sun Visor" which includes "rear window and rear side window sun visors". It 's available to almost all 5 series models. I checked both the 08 535xi and the 07 530i. There gotta be someone up here got this done.

Not sure but my car goes in tomorrow, so if this is avaliable on my 04 530i then I will get it done tomorrow. I will post my results and quoted price. Not sure if anyone has done this yet, I have not seen this done as of yet? Surprised as well...
I hope the price is good. I may get this too...

I have this option and would like to see how they do this. I remember when I had my e39, i heard people retrofitting this but it was required to have new rear door panels. To me the price seams a bit low for what they would have to do. Unless they designed all rear door panels(back side of door panel can already hold shade roll) to have the rear shades and would just have to cut the slot for the rear shade and put trim around it. Same would go for the back window shade. Good luck on this.
