I had these on my BMW 128i, the fit was perfect and they worked great! Glad to know they have 'em for the MINI, I might have to pick some up!

I have them and love them. They fit snug to the windows, and from more than a few feet away, they just look like tinted windows. The rear window one doesn't lay flush against the glass at the top because of the curvature of the window and the cutout for the center brake light, but it hasn't been an issue for me. I've seen that they now offer some kind of "mounting bracket" for them but I don't have them, and they don't really seem necessary, but maybe they would hold the rear shade flush.

I've been planning on retrofitting the shades to both of my R56s. I have the brackets but need to order the shades.
