Rear boot Window shade

My elderly black Labrador and my border terrier travel in the back of the car where most of you guys place your luggage. I am looking to buy a shade I can put to the inside of the window to keep the sunlight of the dogs and thus help keep them cooler. I have just trawled the Internet for such here in the UK but have drawn a blank. It seems even BMW don't supply such as an after market product.
I bought a sunshade for my old E Class from Halfords and it worked perfectly for many years. It seems Halfords also no longer sell such. Can anyone help please? The dogs would be most appreciative.

I bought some tailored ones for my previous 5 Series Touring from a company that trades on eBay and they were a good fit. I just checked and they don't list the F48 yet though unfortunately. The ones above could be worth a look though. I assume you haven't got the sun protection/privacy glass? It's one of the options I went for on our build for the benefit of the dog and my daughter

Thanks both. The Solarplexius option looks interesting and possibly the best option.
Clive I was keen to keep the price below the dreaded £40k so as to avoid £500 per annum road tax for the first five years!
I have used the remote ventilation but not sure how long this will run before flattening the battery. So that’s not the best option.

Why not just get all the rear windows tinted?

Not sure probably about £150-200 for a good quality limo black film. Also provides UV protection
