I can confirm my 2010 M has sliding vizors. Never knew that...

I'm going to try and find a place to order the sliding one at a reasonable price.

FYI the part number for one that slides in Schwarz Left (driver side) is: 51168037385. ##386 is the right (passenger side) Also from looking at realoem, our Canadian friends up north did get this version of the sunvisor.

Further checking on realoem does confirm what everyone has already stated. The change to non-sliding visor was implemented with the LCI.

So far looks like turner motorsport is the cheapest for both sides with shipping. "Fingers crossed"

I'm assuming these "replacement OEM parts" also keep the visor light function?

Wow, just looked at Turner Motorsports price, $274/pr! That's a mighty lofty price, just to extend your visor 4"-6"!

Correct it keeps the light function.

Yup just to extend my visor about 6" and have is placed correctly to prevent my face from sun damage It's worth it for me, might not be everyones cup of tea.

Sorry, I didn't take note of the part number.

Ebay is your friend!

I just received a set that a friend ordered for me, but they are black and my roof is grey. I can confirm they are extendable and are in very good condition.

Selling for what I paid: $150 shipped in USA.

Well finally had a chance to try and install the visor. Good news is that it's the same 3 screw mounting and it fits... sort of. The bad news is that you have to remove that wire seen above to make it fit. There just isn't any space for the wire and the connector to go. The worse news is that the vanity light umm sort of works. The light just comes on when you flip the visor down. The light is no longer tied to the mirror cover I changed the driver side but left the passenger side. The light does go off when you flip it forward past the vertical so I might just keep it. Oh well. lesson learned.

Bump - anyone?

Thank you for posting this - I almost dropped $300 for my 2013 to have the black sliders, but since the function of the light isn't the same its not worth it imo - bummer

This thread is silly imho...just get an 8'' strip of tint at 5% on the top of your windshield for $50 and save $200-300...ta da problem solved
