Where is button placement for rear sunshade option

panzer948 · 11-13-2014, 06:52 PM

Hi all,

Thinking about ordering an M4 soon and trying to decide on the options. I currently own a E92 that I did ED back in 2007. I actually ordered the power rear sunshade and use it often (seems like a rare option to have). Thus, was thinking of doing the same for the M4. On my 335i, the button that operates it is just below the DVD and in front of the shifter; in that bank of row of buttons that many may or may not have, depending on options. I am curious how the M4 does this. Does anyone know where this button for the power sunshade is and if you don't get it, what will be in its place (ugly fake plastic cover)?

This puzzled me too but I found it. Look at the controls on the driver's door. It should be right under the window controls.

I don't have it and there is no ugly plastic cover.

Does the Rear Sunshade option have pull up shades for the side rear windows?

Not on the M4. Don't know about the M3.

M3 does have the manual pull up shades on the main 2 back door windows plus the smaller window on each back door has a small manual shade as well..

On M3/M4 if you opt for the power shade the button on the drivers door that is for the rear window lock gets cut in half to make space for the power shade in the back.
