Sunvisors

I've read that the sunvisors on the 2 are fairly low end and do not slide on the rod to help block out side sunlight. How is the coverage from the size of visor as is? Has anyone compared the dimensions and attachment point to see if it's common with any better visors (such as on 3 or 4 Series) and could be interchanged?

The dimensions are perfect although they are kind of "cheap" feeling. On the other hand, they are very light so there is no need to remove them to save weight on track days.

They definitely feel cheap, but given the fairly low roof of the 2 Series, I'm not sure they can be much taller without getting in the way. My issue with them is that they are unlit. The car has no map lights either. Strange for a $35-50K car. Probably even strange for a $20-25K car.

My 7-year-old E90 has them. Maybe I should call them personal reading lights?
