640

  • 25,000 miles
After work (~ 5:30 pm, pst) while driving, I flipped my sun visor to protect myself from the sun. As the visor was being flipped, the visor fell out of its hinge and lost all visibility. Lost all visibility. Panicked and slammed on the breaks. Almost rear ended as I could hear the car slamming on the breaks. If this happened on the freeway, this could've been a major issue. The visor was propped back into its space but pops out very easily. There seems to be a design flaw with the way the visor is being secured in the hinge. I am worried that all BMW sharing in this design may potentially experience this issue while driving. I consider myself to be pretty nimble and reactive. I'm genuinely worried about the safety of other drives with this issue.
