Cargo net in the trunk? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

I just noticed that I do not have a cargo net in my trunk like my 2001 M5 had. Can anyone tell me if theirs came with one. If so, then mine either did not come with one from dealer or it was removed when I had service 2 weeks ago.

I have one, but I also have a UK car. I know the specs differ in the US...

US cars don't come with it. I bought mine from BMW and use it all the time. Not exactly cheap but worth it IMHO.

I just stole the one from my E39 back, before trading it in!

Umm...i mean... I forgot to include it!

(I dont think NA cars came with it.)

Bavarian,

Can you post a picture of the trunk mat?

No cargo nets in the US. Mine does not have one.

I'd like to see what the trunk net looks like.
I have one on my Infiniti and I really like it. My M5 trunk has stuff just sliding around.

Also, door to the little space on the left side of the trunk that looks like it should hold the manuals, is too small for the manuals. What do you guys use it for?

I have two liters of TWS oil in there, each in a nifty BMW zipper case.

They stay put in there, even during "spirited" driving.

Well, I've got the net on the right side, which is where I keep my manuals.

On the left side, I keep a couple microfiber cloths, Meguiar's NXT quick detailer and Griot's Interior cleaner, and a quart of TWS.
