Absolutely!! Mine is an XI.

No dashboards were harmed during the photo session.

Next, I will post a complete DYI with all the details. I will do this as soon as BMW puts back the dip stick and eliminates RFTs.

I don't think it is BMW approved. BMW approved duct tape costs $79 a roll and is only available at the dealer.

Was there any interference issues on the electronics? I have black non-conductive tape and I'm wondering if it will work as well as the duct tape? I'm hoping it won't interfere with the radio like the window tint.

This puppy might solve the original problem. Just duct tape them over the door.

The electronics are great, in fact, I think I'm picking up new radio stations from across the globe as I hear all kinds of voices when I drive.....
