Where do you store your sunglasses?

One of the very few, and quite minor gripes I have about the G20 is the lack of a dedicated storage compartment for sunglasses. Having said this, has anyone come up with any creative solutions? My glasses usually end up in the cup holder. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With one arm folded hanging at the I drive screen or left beneath the steering wheel in that place.

Doesn’t anyone sell a car sunglass holder that fits well on the G20?

I use the area for wireless charging since I don't have that function. The secret mini glove box on the left works too.

Yes you can use that. I brought a visor sun glass holder accessory from BMW that should work on the G20.

Yeah like others have said - the little storage compartment below the headlight switch has a pretty good amount of room and fits sunglasses just fine!

I was keeping my sunglasses in the door pocket, but on the G20 the glasses constantly slide to the back of the door pocket and make it hard to get. The storage compartment below the headlights works great for sunglasses!

Console. I started with the glove box but too hard too reach while driving. I'm thinking about the BMW accessory that clips on to the sun visor but not sure if I like the esthetics of it.

I have wireless charging but don't currently use it so I keep my sunglass case in that spot.

I didn't know about the hidden glovebox until now. It does fit my Oakleys.
