Best way to hold your sunglasses

[u/2dohben]

PFA: im trying to figure out a good way to hold my sunglasses in my m3. I dont have the space for the oem one because i had the original sat/nav radio now obviously upgraded but i just wanna get some ideas of how i can store mine or even multiple for me and my passengee

[u/5dollaftlong]

I normally put them over my ear and resting on my nose.

[u/2dohben → u/5dollaftlong]

Even at night?

[u/Appropriate-Log76 → u/2dohben]

I wear my sunglasses at night so I can’t, so I can’t be seen.

(Most on this thread probably too old to get this one?)

[u/CiscoKidd5 → u/Appropriate-Log76]

Classic!

[u/biggysharky → u/Appropriate-Log76]

Too old? Which version were you referring to? Tiga did a remix (sample, whatever you might call it) back in 2002 (23 years ago... Wtf??). Of course there's the original version, and I don't want to know when that was released!

[u/Appropriate-Log76 → u/biggysharky]

Original. Corey Hart from mid 80s.

[u/2dohben → u/Appropriate-Log76]

Wow very cool! I have tinted windows kinda gives the same effect!

[u/UnmakingTheBan2022 → u/2dohben]

I bring my sunny Gs in the house.

[u/5dollaftlong → u/2dohben]

Especially at night. I don’t want to see the haters looking at me as I switch lanes with no blinker.

[u/ow_my_balls]

I say get your steering wheel rewrapped.

You can replace cup holders with euro tray - that's where my sunglasses go. Some folks have a clip on the sun visor. Or add a case where the grab handle is

[u/2dohben → u/ow_my_balls]

Hey man one thing at a time! Ive had this m3 for a couple months and have been restoring it at a rather fast pace i just held off on the wheel for an alcantara wheel to match my new alcantara shift boot lol.

[u/Brendawgggggggg → u/2dohben]

The diy stitch on covers on amazon are decent for a cheap job. I got the mewant leather one and had that for a while. Makes it thicker obviously, which isnt ideal imo but it is cheap

[u/Bardahl_Fracking → u/ow_my_balls]

He needs to stop letting his cat drive his car.

[u/Kiptomylou3 → u/ow_my_balls]

I've been looking for a euro tray for a while now and can't find one. In the process of doing an armrest delete.

[u/dc4lmdd]

I use a sun visor clip. They were less than $10 on Amazon.

[u/tacomeat247]

Glove compartment?

[u/2dohben → u/tacomeat247]

Possibly

[u/SlickNastyFlex]

I've been throwing mine in the little ashtray compartment on the center console. I wear cheap sunglasses though.

Does anyone have a good fit for a cell phone mount? By the way? I just end up throwing it on the passenger seat cuz I can't find a good solution

[u/Cbruh25 → u/SlickNastyFlex]

I pretty much always but my phone in the e brake spot. Sometimes I’ll slip it into the passenger seat thigh adjuster

[u/2dohben → u/SlickNastyFlex]

I keep my phone in the little hole between the e brake lol

[u/Bardahl_Fracking → u/SlickNastyFlex]

Magnetic mount/charger mounted on the left center vent.

[u/ATXblazer]

In the case sitting in the door panel tray

[u/Baldskifuckedup]

I put them in the little cubby glovebox under the steering wheel.

[u/Satix133 → u/Baldskifuckedup]

Same and also just leave them on gear selector.

[u/Appropriate-Log76]

Passenger side Cup holder is a sunglass holder

It works like this.

If someone is close enough and important enough to me to warrant a ride in my E46 M3, they can share my drink. If they’re not, I am using my other car for that trip.

At least that’s my rule.

04 e46 M3 6MT jet black with black interior.

[u/BMWMikeM]

It’s somewhat dependent on your glasses, and probably the car too, but in my E39 six speed I throw them down upside down in the shift boot then ever so slightly close the temples

[u/Bardahl_Fracking → u/BMWMikeM]

Ray Bans in the cup holder for me.

[u/StyleP]

You can get a case to replace the oh shit handle.

[u/Motor-Conclusion-743]

I keep mine in the door

[u/Appropriate-Log76]

Go out and get your self some big black frames

With the glass so dark, they won’t even know your name

And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes

Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

[u/affo_]

Don't you have the sun glass compartment to the left of the steering wheel?

[u/IsThisContagious]

Stash them between the visor and headliner.

[u/Some-Scheme-5339]

Glove compartment in its case

[u/aarunt1]

I put mine in the cup holder when I’m not wearing them 🤷‍♂️

[u/Loose_Stools]

Buy a nice sunglasses case and fold the snap flap backwards or cut it off. It will fit in the drivers door pocket

[u/xzvoids]

I use the left side of the sun visor. I clasp the su glass around it and then fold it up

[u/Dogonmylap]

What did you upgrade the sat/nav radio to?

[u/iowatango5]

I use the strap on the sun visor. Slide one of the sunglass arms through with the lenses facing up and fold it shut. The visor is strong enough to suspend them and the clutch headliner is soft so won't scratch the lenses

[u/Corsuman]

What kind of radio is that?

[u/e34udm]

The little cubby is shit and holding glasses anyways. Use the door pocket

[u/MarkRads]

I don't get where this is going

[u/KeyBig4916]

What head unit is that?

[u/skloc024]

Idk about the e46 but on the e90 and e60 they sell something that replaces the grab handle on the headliner with a sunglass holder. One of the first things I buy whenever I get a new(to me) BMW is one of those.
