Sun Visor?!?

MisterGoober · 06-18-2019, 11:27 PM

Is it just me or do the Sun Visors in the M2 appear really cheap/flimsy? Still love the car, but wondering if these are the same as the regular 2 series or if there is a known replacement option from another BMW?

It isn't just you. They're near the top of my list of things about the car that bug me more than they should.

Agreed. They're also really stiff.. the visor pops out of its clip when I try to lower it about 30% of the time. Weird behavior... never happened in my 235.

Are the visits on the 2-series the same? Might be an easy swap otherwise

A little dab of 3M Teflon lubricant with a Q-tip will solve your problem.

That said, they suck if you try to move them to cover the side window. They don't move all the way. Whoever designed this should be fired.

Yes, they are the same as the 2 series and IMO are too damn small. When flipped out to the side the sun still hits you right in the side of the eye.

Awesome! Where do you apply the lubricant?
