Sun glasses holder

Woodie33 · 08-22-2016, 01:48 PM

Do BMW or any aftermarket guys do a decent sunglasses holder? One of my pet hates of my current f30 is having to keep my sunglasses in the arm rest and remove them whenever I plug my phone in. Hate stuff being in door pockets / having to reach into the glovebox whilst driving so never had any other option.

When I used to own vw's there was an oem sunglasses holder which replaced the interior grab handle, it was the first mod I'd do on every new car. Is there anything similar out there?

Cheers.

No, in the mystical land of BMW, there are no wallets, keys, mobile phones or sunglasses.

.....or.......Maybe they expect all 'ultimate driving machine' drivers to look like 'the Stig'?

Either that, or they pay designers millions to design storage spaces that you can't actually fit anything of use in. Just as a joke.

There's this, but the reviews don't bode well:

No, it's an option you have to pay for (some sort of interior 'comfort pack' for heaven's sake) because BMW are too flippin greedy to provide it for free!

Oh! Is that a U.K. Thing? We don't have those comfort packs in the US. Do we?

Woodie33 · 08-22-2016, 04:04 PM

Found a few on eBay for f30's (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-For-BM...UAAOSwdzVXtqPv)

But want one for my new f36 as it has wireless charging so need the armrest space more than ever!

Another thing our Octavia is better at, sunglasses storage pod in front middle roof light cluster, wouldn't be hard for BMW to do something similar....

lots don't. I was really peeved as for a few tiny buttons you lose it altogether. They could have easily put the buttons somewhere else.

Yes, it's pretty poorly thought out. That little cubby is exceptionally handy. First world problems I suppose
