Made to order — cut and fitted for your car, ready to ship in 1–3 weeks.
This set includes front-door panels — parked use only. Australian road rules don't allow shades on the front driver or passenger windows while you're driving. Fit them when the car is parked, and take them off before you drive. Rear-door and third-row panels are fine to leave on.

About these BMW 325i E46 sun shades
Shades for the BMW 325i (E46) bring a touch of relief to a modern classic, cutting glare and UV through the side glass so the interior — and anyone riding in it — stays cooler on hot days. Older trim and dash plastics in particular benefit from less direct sun.
Three options cover this 325i: front door windows as a pair, rear door windows as a pair, or all four door windows together. The rear pair suits passengers and parked-car protection; the four-piece set is the full-cabin choice for road trips and daily summer driving.
☑ Custom-measured on your exact car — Every shade is measured directly on each individual vehicle, then produced at the workshop, fitted to the car, and fine-tuned until it meets standard. Only the finished, fitted car is photographed before the product goes to market — so every product is precise, thanks to a closed-loop, specialised process.
☑ A genuine, gap-free fit — Exact dimensions mean the shades sit flush: clean-looking, with no gaps or warping and no damage to the door seals. Rear-door shades cover the whole door, while front-door shades are cut to leave just enough room to see your mirror, watch the road, and reach toll and parking cards.
☑ 100% black polyester mesh — The mesh blocks UV rays and cuts glare and cabin heat. Already have window film? Add these shades and you're set. No film yet? The shades alone are highly effective — there's no need to film your side windows (film the windscreen if you'd like).
☑ Fast on, fast off — Fitting and removing the shades is quick and simple. Even with the window down, the shade still blocks sun, dust, and insects. Best of all, from inside you can see out clearly, while from outside it is harder to see in.
Shades hold securely in normal driving — we recommend removing them at highway speeds.
Build quality
Round 304 stainless, not flat steel
Most shades are framed with flat steel wire. It corrodes, and its edge works through the mesh at the fold. Ours is round-profile 304 stainless — it doesn't rust, and it doesn't cut the fabric it sits in.
Visibility
See out, without being seen
The mesh is open enough to see through from inside and dense enough to keep the cabin private from outside. Windows still wind down, and air still moves through.

Reviews
What customers say
Genuinely impressed with how well these work. Was skeptical about the magnetic thing but they grip the window frame properly and don't slide around. Cabin stays noticeably cooler and the AC doesn't have to work as hard. Worth every cent.
Does the job. Magnets hold well, blocks a good amount of sun. Nothing fancy but you don't need fancy for this sort of thing. Took about a week to get to me in regional NSW which I thought was reasonable.
Shades are excellent, really well made and fit perfectly. But the stock delay was annoying. Ordered early Nov, didn't ship till late Nov with no update. Got there eventually and the product's top notch, just wish the communication had been better.
Second set I've bought, first ones went on my car and these are for the missus. Same good quality, same strong magnets. They survived a Melbourne 40 degree day parked in the open no worries.
Chucked these on before a trip down the coast and they made a big difference. Kids stopped whinging about the sun straight away. Easy on easy off, can't ask for much more than that.
