I thought the one behind the driver's seat was the only one available?

I.e. they can only be used when you have no rear-seat passengers.

No I have one which will allow the passengers in the rear seat and they are available from BMWorld - around Ãƒ”šÃ‚£180

Gazza, pretty sure those two are the same as the one I've got which goes behind the front seats?

This is the one available from the dealers.

A group buy discount on these would be great!

The windbreak brackets fit under the seat belt bolts at top of door and then the top half of the break is rigid.
The bottom half is fine mesh which completely blocks out all backdraft but is attached at the bottom by subtle non-intrusive velcro clips. This mesh can be removed instantly for back passengers to sit and get their legs in.
Ok it is not fantastically easy for the passenger to slide under the rigid section but its not that hard.

Not the best picture, but all I can do whilst at work and under firewall constraints.

Ah I see, looks just like the original one to me (though not sure if the bottom half can be removed as I only got it on the weekend and haven't fitted it yet).

Any idea if there's any difference in quality compared to the BMW ones? As I think they're asking Ãƒ”šÃ‚£285 + VAT at the dealers.
