Sunglasses?

[sbonder]

I'm looking at the 2009 X5. Will probably buy in the next month. I just realized (yes, it woke me up from a dead sleep) that I did not see a sunglasses holder during the test drive. Is there a sunglasses holder that I missed?

As far as I know it doesn't have one....not in Europe anyway.
I know some people put thier sunglasses in the cupholders.

Now go get some sleep....

Lack of sunglasses holder is one of the "more popular" small complaints of the E70 model. It's ridiculous that BMW did not provide one.

I bought the ashtray replacement which gave me a little more room but it's still not big enough for my glasses. I took out the plastic ashtray, lined the space with black felt, and that's where I keep my sunglasses now. Solution is not that elegant but I'll do a better solution later. At least my sunglasses don't get scratched.

I just put them in their case and keep them in the center console.

I like that Volvo solution in the grab bar. I've thought of removing the grab bar and attaching a large sunglass case there. I have a good quality black one.

I see there's lot of "Volvo sunglass holders" on eBay but there are different models for their different cars. I suppose I could drive to Volvo dealership and see if they have one I could look at.

I just went and bought 3 pairs of sunglasses and there just laying in the X5 everywhere.

But that's not a bad idea removing the ashtray completely, putting some linning in there, I don't smoke anyway!
