I've done this to a 335i, e70 X5, and e92 M3 all black vinyl visors with perfect results.
I take no responcibily for any damages to your vehicle following this procedure and it will probably not work with cloth visors.
1) Remove visor, 2 T-20 screws and power connector. there is enough slack in the wires to disconnect the plug easily.
2) Use a small cotton rag (old t-shirt) folded to the size of the sticker and saturate cloth with acetone. Place saturated rag over sticker and allow it to penetrate the sticker for 10 seconds and then lightly wipe the sticker. it will bubble up and wipe off easily. do not pour the acetone directly on the visor and use only enough to soften the sticker. If the acetone is left on too long it will also soften the vinyl. You may need to use some Goof-Off to remove any residual adhesive.
3) Finish with some 303 or other quality interior protectant.
4) Reinstall visor.
If the visors are sun faded there may be slight color differences under the stickers.
If your going to replace the visors anyway what's the risk?
Are you sure the Euro parts are without the warning stickers?

Then I should have let you do mine. I got the stickers off eventually but it was a PIA and I ended up with a small hole in one due to the vinyl getting too soft. You can still see the difference in the area where the sticker was on both. And it was a lot of effort.

TOTALLY understand the OP's desire to order them new. I wish I had done so.
