Exclamation F15 F85 EURO ROW Alcantara Sun Visors...

Do the Euro or ROW visors come without the warning labels? If so can someone on here confirm the part numbers below and whether or not they have labels?

Peculiar that some come with and some come without. I wonder why that is. Carelessness at the US factory?
The part is available without label and then the labels have their own part number for left and right visor.

Can you not remove the labels on the X5?

I removed mine on my e46 back in the day with some goof off 2 and warm terry cloth towels seems like.

Saw a thread on F30 removal with isopropyl alcohol.

Seems like the f15 would be the same.

If you are looking to go alcantara, Bimmer Masterpieces may be able to wrap your f15/f85 visors. I've seen some good feedback on them!

You should be able to remove them. I've been planning on doing this forever but haven't gotten around to it yet:

You can but after 2010 or thereabouts the way the labels are applied has changed. In the past you could simply use a blow dryer or some alcohol and peel off the labels but now they are applied with high heat to avoid degradation, removal or damage. There are methods of removal which work however it leaves behind the residue or an imprint of where the label once was especially on alcantara wrapped visors. Essentially you remove the colored label but you still have a visible impression of where label once was. I prefer to have the new OEM+ clean look whenever possible.
