Hey guys, just wondering how do you store your sunnies? in the compartment of the side door or any other means?

Maui Jim's in their case in the door if I'm driving and not wearing them or resting on the cup holder cover when I'm not.

Yep. Driver's side glove box. All Aussie cars get the Storage package don't they?

I don't have a drivers side glove box. That's where the buttons are for lane departure, blind spot and collision control.

I keep mine in the centre console hahaha... very sophisticated.

its a pity we don't have a dedicated compartment to store sunnies...I've been looking at cases that can be attached to the over-head handle, seems more common with the older models and most of them look beige.....not sure if grey matches the anthracite headlining.....

That one is a part from the X3. It replaces the Grab Handle mounted above the door. I had it on my 1M. Was perfect.... Unfortunately no grab handles in our cars...

I've got the handles in my car....regional differences maybe? Either way I doubt the colour would match....don't even know if it would fit actually...

They look the same size and shape as what I had in my 1M. You should be fine to go for that one from Bimmian.

Based on reviews I've read, it doesn't fit larger glasses. Especially ones that are curved. Plus it's so bulky and ugly (IMO).
