Got something new to repair the broken triangle sunshades on the rear doors, which are pretty expensive and not all colors are still available. Prices on BMWFANS/REALOEM are not valid anymore. The triangle shades increased in price, example 51161964325 door sun blind INDIGO rear door left EURO 122,02 = USD 160.65. BMWFANS/REALOEM still state old prices of EURO 88.90 $116.44
And the clips for the triangle sunshades are not available as single item from BMW, my ones are special made and available from me, better and stronger than the original ones and can also be added onto a broken shade as shown below.So with my clips defective triangle shades can be repaired instead of spending $160 for a new one, if available at all in special colors
In case the sunshade looks like this

use a scissor to cut it straight

now take the new and stronger repair clip

unscrew the 2 bolts till they just are still in the thread

then split the 2 halves of the clips open

place it over the end of the sunshade and tighten SLIGHTLY

The clips fit for E34 and E32. I have some on stock, special made, not available from dealer or any online shop.
If someone needs them contact my by PM with quanity and country where to send, so that I can tell you the price including shipping cost.
In case the rear side window quartershade will not retract fully, see on my website under fixes >>blinds how to repair it
