Does anyone have suggestion on which windshield shade to buy for E60? I'm looking for high quality ones that reflects the most sun/heat.

Thanks

I had the dealer throw in the BMW one when I bought the car. It fits great and it's heavy duty, but it's also heavy and bulky, making it kinda hard to get in the windshield.

Right now, I'm comparing the OEM, Covercraft and Heatshield ones. Not sure which one is better.

Nevermind. After some research, I found that heatshield is made by a company local to me. Gotta support local business. =)

I'm using the Heatshield sunshades on all my cars. Keep the heat out nicely. Only drawback I've find is it is a little combursome to roll it up. Otherwise it works great.

You guys have to be kidding, your paying big bucks for the sun shield when you can get one at Walmart that fits perfect and reflects the sun as good as any of them for under $5.00 I use one in my 535i as well in my X3.
