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 520i 2010-2017 sun shades
Rear-seat comfort is where the BMW 520i (2010–2017) sun shades earn their keep — this executive sedan often carries passengers in the back, and the shades cut glare, UV and heat through the side glass without blocking the view out.
Three options cover this 520i: front door windows only, rear door windows only, or all four doors in one set. The rear pair suits chauffeured passengers and child seats; the four-piece set keeps the whole cabin cooler when parked. Each piece is shaped to the 2010–2017 generation's window lines, so if your 5 Series is from a different year range, look for its own listing.
☑ 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
Shades are top notch, really happy with how they perform. Knocked off a star because it took about 10 days and I had to follow up on the tracking. Once they showed up though, no regrets. Slides straight on and blocks the UV well.
Got these for a trip up the coast with the family. Kids didn't whinge about the sun once, which is a minor miracle. Easy to put on and take off if you need to. One of the rear ones sits a tiny bit proud at the corner but it's not a big deal.
Put these on last week. First impressions are good, the magnets click right onto the frame and they sit flush. Rear ones were slightly looser but still stay put. Cuts the glare down heaps.
Product is good, no issues with the shades at all. Well made and easy to fit. But I ordered and it said in stock, then got an email saying it was on backorder and would be another week. Ended up taking nearly three weeks. Would have been nice to know upfront.
Was worried these would look tacky from outside but they actually look quite clean. Nice tight fit, you can barely tell they're there from a distance. Does the job and looks decent doing it.
