FlashMonkey929 wroteis it the one that has "BMW" in big bold letter?Picked up the OEM F48 X1 sunshade from the dealer today and can confirm it fits pretty well. The only minor issue is that this sunshade is stiff, so maneuvering it to fit around the mirror takes a bit more effort. Folds up flat and comes with a nice nylon drawstring pouch for storage. Also bought the heritage front and rear emblems, but going to tackle installing them tomorrow when there’s more light.
I really wish that they don't put "BMW" like that... a bit much for me.
SpaceSilverX1 wroteThat’s the one. I don’t mind it so much, as long as it works. I can think of way worse things to put on a sunshade lol.is it the one that has "BMW" in big bold letter?
FlashMonkey929 wroteI just realized that you said you bought the F48 sunshade... while the fit looks fine in the photo, I'm wondering if BMW sells a sunshade for the U11 X1? Or are they just making this a F48/U11 interchangeable sunshade? Also, do you happen to have the part# of this shade?That’s the one. I don’t mind it so much, as long as it works. I can think of way worse things to put on a sunshade lol.
Thanks!

It is specific/measured to the U11. I've used this brand with previous cars as well. Not cheap, but it's relatively thick/substantial.
They sell options for all windows, but I only have the front windshield. And you can get it in silver or gold.
SpaceSilverX1 wroteAs far as I know, they haven’t released one specific to the U11. When the parts guy entered my VIN#, that is what came up. I could return it if it didn’t fit so I figured what the heck. I’ll get the part number when I go down to my car, left the receipt in the trunk.I just realized that you said you bought the F48 sunshade... while the fit looks fine in the photo, I'm wondering if BMW sells a sunshade for the U11 X1?

WA wroteI used to use that brand back in the day before I was into BMW’s, good stuff. I prefer the accordion style ones now instead of the roll up ones now days though.I just got this one:

COOLGREANY wroteThey don't make one for the U11, the one I bought is for the F48, but the fit is pretty good, like in the photo above.Do you have a link to an accordion one for the U11?
FlashMonkey929 wroteThanks!Here’s the part number (US market)
Wait a minute... people use sunshades in Hawaii? It doesn't even really get that hot over there.
I was working on my new lawn this afternoon. A very bad idea because it was almost 96 degrees. Good thing I applied SPF100 sunblock on my arms and legs before going outside. Took me 6 hours to mow my lawn and trim the edges. I need a giant sunshade that hangs over my entire house!
