Steering wheel sun shade

With the summer coming up (northern hemisphere) and the black interior, does anyone know of a good smaller reflective cover specifically designed for the 14-1/2" M2 standard steering wheel?

The following is a fabric one I found, but designed for larger (17") diameters:

I have something like the following metalized one for my 3-series which only works so-so. Anyone have any experience with fabric used in the one above?

BTW, if anyone is looking for a windshield sun shade...

Any photos of the windshield shade in place? Curious how it looks.

As for the steering wheel, my guys couldn't come up with anything yet...they said maybe to check with other manufacturers with smaller cars that have smaller wheel diameters. I'll see if I can dig anything up.

I picked one of off of eBay for $45 including shipping. It was listed as for a 2-Series and fit perfect.
