Looking for a little extra storage? Try this

The oil travel bags that BMW sell are the perfect size for the inside wall of the boot. The velcro backing allows you to stick them in place and they are the perfect height to not interfere withthe partition

Here's the part. It's about $5 USD

And her'e what they look like inside the car. Great for any cleaning supplies, small tools, microfiber wipes, etc.

That would be a perfect solution to put your groceries in

That is absolutely brilliant! From necessity comes creativity..Nicely done, and thanks for sharing.

Nice find.

cdeslandes · 08-17-2010, 11:35 AM

Nice. Price is right too.

Unfortunately my car doesn't have a boot. I'll try the trunk...

ghani · 12-21-2010, 01:17 AM

great idea, i will be doing the same soon.

anyone knows what the round velcro straps that come as standard in the back of the trunk are for ?

you can see them in teezee pictures just below the new oil travel bags he put...

Great Idea Teezee, Thanks for sharing it with us...

statZ4 · 12-21-2010, 08:06 AM

Mine came with the car, the dealer made it seem we all get these.

mcbeee · 12-21-2010, 09:19 AM

Excellent !! Now I have to find some.....

Memphis1 · 12-21-2010, 10:19 AM

why would you need two quarts strapped to the trunk?? Is not like you live in the middle of antartica and can't get a quart of oil

These are the storage holders for the ski transport device (which I have removed from my car). Not sure you have much use for this in Syria

It's described on page 107 and 108 of my manual

mcbeee · 12-21-2010, 12:46 PM

Couldn't find 'em on the Canadian site, on the US site they are about $5.37 each, called my local dealer with the number and he said " we have lots, they are $15 each"

WTF ??? The $CDN is at .98 $US....

Only in Canada you say ? The land of 175% markup....

I'll be picking some up next month ....in Phoenix !!

Look out my window and see if you can get a quart of Castrol Edge within an hours drive?

It ain't Antarctica but it's close..

I want them for "stuff", you know, like bullets, aerosol paint cans, small gadgets, maybe a sandwich or two....

thanks for the reply, you will be surprised to know that it snowed around 70cm a few eeks ago but unfortunately i melted also quickly

I looked also in the manual. what you are describing is something else, i was referring to these two small Velcro loop straps:

anyone knows what they are for ?

If you have the ski pass thru, the velcro loops hold a support bar in place.
