Needing to get one of the above before the good weather arrives, BMW want just shy of £500 for one, non branded models online are available for around £200.
Obviously being Scottish the £200 version is more appealing, my wife however reminded me of the buy cheap buy twice mantra she uses to justify expensive trinkets.
Anyone here got any experience of either and any obvious cons from buying the cheap one.

If it helps, there's guy involved/invests with my employer, amongst the cars he runs around in he has a 640d convertible, I think it's the only SE spec example that I've seen. He didn't bother with the windbreak in his older model 6 series, so wasn't bothered when he bought this one but soon decided that he needed one when looking at my old e93. Couldn't bring himself to spend the money on the genuine one, so bought a cheap one, does the job yes, but looks bloody awful/almost comical, I don't know where he got it from but it almost looks home made! It doesn't fold in half for easier storage.

I've managed to get a genuine pre owned one for £230 so that seems fine.
