Covercraft UVS100. Custom fit. No more rolled up aluminum junk.
The OEM unit (P/N 82110417983) is prob the same so it's up to you whether you want to spend the extra $15 for BMW printed on the front. OEM unit is ~$65. Amazon has the UVS100 for ~$50.

Have the OEM shade which fits extremely well. Very well made and should last a long time.
Have the Axiom product in both the 7 & the 5, but after 5-7 years of use they are not long for the garbage.
You get what you pay for!

I have the OEM shade but do not remember if there was a discount at the time of purchase.

I could not find the model for the F15 on Amazon. It looks like the ones they have on Amazon are for the E70's.

I went on the Covercraft website and it looks like the F15 part number is UV11369SV

The ones on Amazon are UV11063BL and UV10734SV

I just bought an OEM one on eBay for $45 shipped. Just search the PN I posted above. It will yield an E70 result, but I confirmed with the seller that it fits F15s as well as later build E70/71. Seller is a BMW dealer in Pennsylvania...

Oh oh... "Seriously? Why is there a GIANT BMW logo on the shade?!?"
Guess who said that?

Perhaps I'll have brand new shade to sell next week.

WRT logo, I fully agree... I have one for x3, fits snuggly, the permanent folds are flexible in both directions. Maybe I should open it up with the logo on the inside except then the shiny foil faces inward.

isn't the BMW logo the whole point (and reason why it costs some $5-$10 more than the unbranded ones) hahaha. But, I get what you mean - if it's too garishly big, it may scream "look at me, I drive a BMW!" a little too much

Please let us know once you get it if it really fits F15 or is it just sort of fitting.

Will certainly do, but it had better be an exact fit because the part number is identical to what is listed on BMW's website for F15s.

Yes, but the reason I asked, that part number stated:

This product fits 10 vehicle variants.
BMW X Series (E53,E70,E71,E83): 1 models, 10 variants between 2006 and 2010.

And did not include F15. Maybe they didn't get around to adding it (Even after 2,5 yrs) but still. Where in BMW site did you see F15 listed for that part number? It's not important since you will get it soon and you'll be able to tell if it fits or not, but I wonder if it's typical BMW lack of update since it's not made by BMW anyway.
Like NVRfollo said, the exact item is UV11369SV ($55 Retail)

I got the original one and find that it is difficult to put in, it scratches the leather dashboard. May be I am doing something wrong? Otherwise it is a quality product, although as you mentioned the big logo is too much.

Thanks.
82110417983 comes up with one seller on Amazon too at $54 who states it's the same one since 2007 based on the reviews.

Batman logo is cool. Big BMW letters across the windshield is like walking around with a BMW hat jacket watch all at the same time. Hey look at me! Just not my style.

I hear you, but this is a bit different. It's actually on your vehicle, which happens to have BMW plastered all over. Could it have been more subtle and tasteful, definitely, look at Audi ones, or Benz's. Could it be better if it had no logo at all, I think so.

It looks like it comes unbranded if you buy it directly from manufacturer:
http://www.covercraft.com/cartlink/i...-tab-customize
You can even get Blue shaded ones.

The only problem is, it looks like they make these to order or ship from China or something. 2-3 weeks for shipping.
Maybe this is why BMW or CoverCraft is doing on purpose. When they sell to BMW, it must be sold by them hence huge logo?

Actually my fault. Bmwusa advertised with the logo and I didn't think anything of it. When I bought the same for my 3-series, same manufacturer but didn't have a logo which I believe I ordered from autoanything.com
