If it ices up inside that means you have water inside the car that is evaporating and then condensing on the inside of the glass

Ricky Evans Motorsport sell them, £290 + postage, I've been looking into them for my track E30 (no heaters).

If you are getting that much condensation in a normal E30 it would indicate there is moister getting in somewhere to be that bad. Blocked sunroof drains or a leak in the boot could do this.

If as you say it ices up inside then I would say water is definitely coming in from somewhere. Water on clothes normally clears quite quickly once you start driving the car. Check sunroof if you have one and the scuttle area for any rust holes. As said before boot is a possibility as well.
