Mine have it as a standard altjough it is not motorised. I know some of the proton have it as motorised, maybe can considered to buy that and retrofit it to your car. BTW, it is illegal to drive with the sun shade in the up position..

Bimmerman: Yes, I was reading brit car mags even before I went over. Max Power was one of my faves. But 'naff' certainly was one of the milder words used in that mag...Car had the best writing and I think some of the staff went over to EVO (by way of PC). After a while, the writing got more and more....shall we say, influenced?
The local mags have a lot to catch up on. Hypertune has one of the worst editing. So too Asian Auto, when Chris Wee was at the helm. It was absolute rubbish. Cars.my is the best. Autocar is improving by leaps and bounds under D.Wong and that Lee can'tspellhisname bloke.
Beats posting to a limited audience online, though.
Apologies, OT.

Talk to him.
As for the pull up blinds for the rear side windows (like the newer e39), you have to go order it but lots of things need to change. Go check out from the online ETK.

Damn. Really hate those people driving with those blinds up. Somemore driving on the fast lane & blocking your vision ahead. These r the people living in their own world, selfish & inconsiderate. Another reason why our road is not smooth flowing. Wait till they get it from the back. Wawasan 2020 my foot!
Totally agreed, Chaiks!!!!! Those stupid cars with blinds and curtains are so damn SELFISH lot. If scared of the sun, then stay home la!!!!!
Hate following these cars as we can't anticipate those upfront braking or slowing down. When we hit their back, we at fault!!!!!!Inconsiderate LOT!!!!!!!!!!!I alwiz curse and swear when i see one. So those.............................Beware!!!!!!!!!!

The side curtains were made available on late model E39 and 530 as standard offering.
I enquired and was told that the curtian came with a new different door trim behind which curtain will roll when withdrawn. There is also a hook on top of the door to hold the curtian up. Not worth the money, since Ive already got the rear curtain.
I bought those "stick" on types and I cut them to fit. But in the end, threw them away cos it was too much bother.

I have rear sun blinds (aka curtains). Visibility is good - it does cut out some but not enogh to make it dangerous. But it does prevent direct sunlight. The rear sun blind are electrically operated by a button below the aircon controls.
The side curtains supplied by BMW as shown in the diagrams are manually controlled and is either full up or withdrawn.
But frankly, the tinting is enough to keep out trhe heat and my tinting is dark enough
