Sun shade

Does anyone have suggestions on front windshield sun shades (important with the black interior) for my 2017 F87 M2 with Executive Package that will go into production in a few weeks? M2 F87 specific accessories are limited so far. WeatherTech offers a BMW 2016 2-Series (F22/F23) TechShade Windshield and Window Sun Shade http://www.weathertech.com/bmw/2016/...f22/techshade/, but their customer service says it's not compatible. Are the 2016 and 2017 windshields identical? Is there any difference between the F87 and F22/F23 (e.g. M235i) windshields?

Did they say it was incompatible or that they have not "tested" it?

I don't see why it wouldn't fit. Pretty sure the windshield and rake angle are the same.

Either way, why not try a few out at a good auto parts store? This has been the most successful for me, as sometimes the ones made for a specific car aren't necessarily the best fit.

WeatherTech reply "The sunshade will only fit the 2 series F22/F23 not the MS F87. We do not carry a sunshade for that high performance limited production model". I currently have a 2-piece twist folding silver mess sunshade I use in my 2012 328i with grey leather interior from some local automotive store, but it doesn't fit very well around the mirror. My 2006 325i had black leatherette and I remember out hot it got in the summer. So figured a more perfect fitting one will keep it the coolest. Comments on the accordion folding sunshades are they more difficult to store due to their size.

It will fit. They use the exact same windshield.

For all who want to know, I purchased the weathertech sunshade for the F22/F23 and can confirm it fits well.
