Rear "sunshade"/rolling curtain?

Winter is back, so it's now dark when driving to work..... And dark when driving home from work.....

I have the OEM tinted windows and I believe the interior mirror is dimmable.

But, I have an eye condition that makes me easily irritated/blinded, so I was thinking about doing something to restrict the light coming through the rear window.

Is there another option than adding an additional tint film?
Does someone sell a rolling curtain type for the i3, or a different quick install/remove option?
Think I would prefer that rather than a permanent dark film.

Most of my other BMW's have had the OEM tinted window and the electric rolling curtain so I have just rolled the curtain up when I had cars with bright or incorrectly adjusted light behind me.

There is an OEM rear window shade cover thingy. I have it on my i3. It attaches using some clips that attach via sticky tape. I never take it off but it would take probably 5seconds to remove.

It's not electric but it's cheap (at least in the US)

Thanks.

I've seen those, but I thought it was for sun protection when parking in hot climates. You know, like the ones people put on their windscreens when parked.

What you are saying is that this is pretty much like the rolling curtains on other BMW's and actually see through?

Might get a good black Friday deal on one of those

The rear shade doesn't even need any clips, it just wedges in and fits perfectly.

The rear quarter ones aren't a good shape, doesn't fit quite right.

The rear windows do need the clips but due to the plastic quality in the i3 the clips don't stick to well.
