G42 M240i Windshield Sunshade

Hello fellow G42 members. Only 4 weeks and counting until I can pick up my car.
I'd like to ask if anyone has purchased a sunshade for your G42 as yet, and if a G20 or other model size fits.
I was looking at Heatshield or Covercraft.
Please send photos and advise.
Thank you

I have always bought Covercraft for all my cars. a little pricey, but good quaility and I feel that it makes a big difference.

Thanks for the reminder. I have used these on all my cars and they are absolutely the best. I am placing my order now. Should have done it sooner, since I pick my car up at BMW PCD this Monday.

Absolutely Covercraft. More expensive than most, but an excellent fit for the G42 and good quality for the price. In addition, their shade is rigid and unfolds vs. a more flexible style that rolls. I have found that the Covercraft version that's rigid and unfolds, is much easier to set in the windshield from the driver's seat, I don't need to lean all the way over to the passenger side to fully open the Covercraft. The roll-up style requires a more difficult and more time consuming task to set the shade in the windshield. I like things easy, quick, and simple, no issues or drama. I chose to pay the higher cost for convenience, etc... just my critique. Good luck with your choice.

Reviving this old thread. I am searching for a quality sunshade for my 2025 M2.

When it comes to sunshades, all I see recommended are those from Covercraft and Heatshield in various threads. For some reason, this item from BMW never comes up:

I am wondering whether anyone has used it? If yes, please share your experience.

Galaxy auto shield best brand of sun shades. Priced appropriately for what is literally a piece of reflective foam. Fits tight to the edges and stores/rolls easily. Haven't tried specifically for the 240 yet, but it has been great in all my other cars and my family's cars.

I just got it and to be honest it's a little large for my M240i, the last small fold has to be tucked in on both sides.

Can anyone confirm if the Covercraft 2024 M240i xDrive sunshade will fit the 2025 model? When I emailed them, they said that no older model would fit the 2025, as they haven't created one for it yet. Wasn't sure if someone has tried here yet.

I can't confirm it but I don't see why it wouldn't fit - same car (windshield, dash, etc.).

BTW, due to the wide dash/touchscreen on my '24, I would have picked something more flexible because the Covercraft that I have been using is very stiff and hard to get unfolded and then folded in the tight confines of the dash area on the '23-'25 cars. I usually drag or bump the right side of the touchscreen getting it into and out of the dash/windshield area - not sure how that will work out in the long run.

However, it does seal very well and it looks fantastic both inside and outside the car. Always tradeoffs................

Great i hadn't gotten around to it yet since it's going to be winter and I've been focusing on other areas of the car.
