Question hmm ..... so no sunglass holder/compartment in X5 ???
I never observed until today when I tried to place my sunglasses.
I thought of asking the CA during test drive and some how I missed it.

Wise people, shed some light here with how you manage with ur sunglasses.

cmyX6go will become famous soon enough
Believe it or not, there are quite a few threads here on the subject. Some use the ash tray, others have visor clips. I just put them in their case and keep them in the center console.

I put my sunglasses in their hard cases and usually store in either the center console or glove box. If there was a designated sunglass holder it would be useless to me...

My car is tinted dark enough to not need sunglasses

You know you're getting old when you complain about having no sunglass holder in your sports SAV....

I'm just saying :-)

L is right, there are a couple of threads on this

I removed the plastic ashtray "liner"; lined that space with black felt and now my sunglasses can fit in there. No case needed; they're out of the way; and they don't get scratched.
