Euro sunglasses holder

MachinesWithSouls · 10-24-2015, 04:22 PM

For those lamenting about a lack of a good place to store sunglasses, I found this on ECS tuning. It replaces either hand grab, which I never use, and is authentic BMW from the European version of the car.

Also easy to install.

Nice, I'l be ordering one soon. Looks great. Now if I could only find a spot for my cell phone.

This is great, thanks for posting. I never use the hand grab either. Is it lined with felt or something inside?

buddalun · 10-25-2015, 11:21 AM

Link?

MachinesWithSouls · 10-25-2015, 11:58 AM

It's lined with the same material the headliner is made from, so it's soft and won't scratch anything. You get grab it here, there are a few options:

ohh man...another thing to get...I cannot stop buying things for this car

cenix · 10-25-2015, 06:10 PM

Now the question is, do I get one or two? It's kinda playing with my anal side because I need symmetry.

Thought about that but no one else keeps their glasses in the car. And it makes me feel more special

There is the "Ask a Gay Guy Anything" thread for this...

Love my sunroof!

Damn. Just ordered one, but it won't ship until 12/3. This "free" site costs me so much money!

dnvrdrvr · 10-26-2015, 11:41 AM

I have this. Love it.

duvinclunk · 10-26-2015, 10:16 PM

Debating on whether $50+ not including shipping is worth it.

Rat3d ///M · 10-26-2015, 11:14 PM

So that's what that thing is..I have one on my daily beater car, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why the oh shit handle was so retarded looking.

Either way, I don't like it.

Those aren't even oh shit handles. No way they would hold up during track time.

My iPhone 5 fits perfectly inside the door handle. But once I get rid of that phone, who knows where it'll go.

Then buy it from a company that is not as expensive as ECS. Try Amazon or FCP Euro for $39 shipped.

EnderG60 · 10-27-2015, 07:00 AM

I went this route

replaced the ash tray and cig lighter with this. Much better.

I've been using this for years. Can't live without it. Safe if you have to text since it's right in front of you.

Note: Don't buy the new version with the magnetic connection if you have a 6MT. It's too low and the shifter hits your phone.
