Rear window sun visor experience?

My previous bimmer had the power rear and rear side sunshade option. I got a new 2014 750i and did not order this option... what a mistake! I understand there's no way to retrofit this option but there's a rear window sun visor accessory that can be installed by BMW. Approx $200 uninstalled and $400 installed. Unfortunately this is one of those accessories dealers do not carry and need to be ordered... so can't be seen prior committing to it.

Question: has anyone seen this accessory installed? Does it look close to what the factory option?

Thanks!!!

I know of an alternative that might work for you.It might not be as fancy as an electric one but should work perfectly.They don't have one already for the 7 but you might want to give them a call and see if they can customize one for you.

Agreed! The shades are the one option I would always want, but the electric gizmo is not important. Far more important just to have shades. Plus, these shades will look more stock than the automatic ones. The automatic shades have large gaps.
