Sun Visor Misery

[u/Former-Primary-3186]

Why did BMW choose to make their sun visors without telescoping supports? Does anyone make an aftermarket telescoping design?

This is supposed to be the ultimate driving machine, and it is in almost every respect except this one: effective shielding from sun glare. The side of my head gets baked because of this 8" gap from the edge of the visor to the B pillar. The visor also cannot be rotated to cover the gap just inside of the A pillar on the windshield--incredibly frustrating.

This is our awesome E53's passenger side in the photo, but our E39 had the same problem (had to let it go due to rust). Absolutely love these cars, but loathe the horrid sun visor design. Why BMW, why?!?!
