securing storage items?

tranquility · 07-29-2010, 12:33 AM

I'm wondering if someone has sourced something that keeps groceries and other odd items secure in the trunk. The existing 2 rubber things aren't that usable in tying things down. Is there an aftermkt net or something like that?

SOrry, cant help you there.

Your poor trunk must have all these nicks and dents.

No one has a solution?

BMW has a anti-slip mat that it custom-fitted in the trunk or boot. I guess you can ask for paper bags as they won't move as much...

Granted, there are not much on the BMW site for cargo accessories. But, this link has a bit more like the cargo boxes.

I was hoping for something more securing, like a net system, anchored to the trunk's floor?

BMW had one for the previous gen Z4 from 2002-2008, I don't know if we have tie-downs for the nets though...

Someone did a custom net mounts in a X5. But, this requires custom installation...

^Thx. It seems I need to wait for someone to make something specifically for our E89.

I got one similar to this from Target. Mine has little gripers the bottom to keep it from slipping around in the trunk. Just check that it fits.

^Hey, thx. I'll need to see if we have something similar up here.

Somehow I don't think that "Grocery storage" was high on the design priority list when they built these cars ....

teagueAMX · 07-29-2010, 08:09 AM

I'm sure you're right

Probably not. They're designed to haul a statuesque blonde, but you store that in the passenger seat, not the trunk...

Mine is a 5'10" brunette (that picks up the groceries in her 325Ci....)

Memphis1 · 07-29-2010, 12:17 PM

^^ mine change every two weeks or so, no need to get attached...

Who said pimping wasn't easy?!?

I've seen that CSI show. Apparently the trunk is for when you need to dump the body...
