Front sunshade

Is the front windshield on a e92 M3 the same size as a e92 335? I want to get a covercraft uvs100 sunshade for the front and they don't have the new M3 listed yet. Also, anyone know the cheapest place to get these online? Thanks.

Yes it is...i dont usually hate on questions but come on man..do you really think BMW would design a whole new dashboard/windshield and whatever else for the M3? Obvs not..it would be way too costly.

Considering so many parts are different on the two cars, it's nice to know before making a purchase that there are not subtle differences that would make your purchase useless, especially a "custom cut" item that probably has a draconian return policy.

Covercraft for the win, much better quality than that eBay item. EDIT: I went with autogeek.net for my wife's covercraft shield.

Ya engine and drivetrain are different...and the obvious stuff such as hood/bumpers/fenders etc.. but its the same car as a regular e90. the frame is the same, the doors are the same, the lights are the same etc..

There is no reason to even think that the size of the dashboard would be any different in an M.

Well the windshield on the verts in the E36 was different than the E36Coupe/Sedan windshields, so really the answer to the question wasn't that obvious.

I had the same question for the very same reason.

The M3 only shares just a few body panels with the normal 3, like the doors, the windshield could easily be different as well.

How is this so inherently obvious that even asking the question is stupid? Is there an explicit statement somewhere that it is the same?

Next time try for a helpful post.

Somethings dont need to be said man, and like I said Im not one to hate on questions and tell people to search but I just thought it was an obvious answer. But everyone is different

A $60K plus car deserves a $50 sunshade. A custom fit shade is worth the dough.

Pardon my ignorance, but why not just use the oem BMW sunshade? I currently have one in my car and it seems pretty nice and fits well. Was thinking of carrying it over to the m3 if I order one in Oct.
