3 Series Convertible wind deflector
I really enjoy the BMW 3 Series convertible OEM wind deflector. The screen, while porous, works remarkably well in eliminating buffeting wind from front seat passengers and it is clear enough to see traffic. The one drawback is that it limits the passengers to front seats only, but that typically is not a problem for most drivers.
I like that the release that operates the connecting rods retracts the rods on both sides in the rear, so one twist will allow the bottom back of the screen to be lifted to remove items stored in the back seat without removing the screen. Afterward, it can be lowered and both rods reset with twist of the release. I've not tried folding it into quarters and storing it in the trunk, but it seems very easy and convenient.
I purchased mine used on Ebay, at a substantial discount, but would have gladly paid the full price knowing how effective it is. I do have a concern that the screen can be punctured, but if it ever happens and the rest of the mechanism is still functional, I suspect I could repair it without much difficulty.
