X6 Luggage compartment package - The Net
So I got the luggage compartment package that comes with those automated aluminum-rubber railings that keep the luggage from sliding. There are also some points where you can hook a net onto (the net came with the car).
My question is, how?? I attach photos of one of my attempts to make use of this extra option. The net cannot be unfolded to cover the whole trunk bottom, has four hooks and looks like it could serve as a horizontal pouch or a vertical bag...sort of. Any ideas, any photos? |

It serves the purpose of holding small things that I don't want to roll around, and it secures my long ice scraper/brush and my folded sunscreen, which are behind it. Note the included anchor points, arranged for that specific purpose. I use a cargo box for securing other items in the cargo bay, and the folding hooks on the walls for bags. I could secure it close to the hatch, but I'd have to cut holes in my cargo mat, which I've done in the past but not on this car. Not as accessible in the back, which may be your point, but it depends on how you want to arrange your particular cargo area, and the function of the net doesn't change wherever it's placed.

I think you can do both. I don't use it but I just followed the instructions and then took it out again. You could put small things in so they don't move around ( if you put in the the back position) if you put it in front it's hard to reach.

For putting in the ice scraper it makes sense indeed to put it more in the front. By the way how to you get the automatic cover functioning with the mat? |

The automatic cover functions fine - I have the shorter Luggage Package mat so I don't have to shift it around or remove it when I lower the cover - it also gives me access to the anchor points on the floor without cutting the mat, although you could use a full mat and just cut out the holes over the anchors. I've never had great success at cutting holes in my cargo mats and having them look decent, hence this compromise, but if you're handy with an X-Acto knife you could anchor a net front or back. Or just eliminate the mat.

Thanks for all the info and advice, I tried to play with it a bit and I'm still not sure how usefull this small net thing is. If I try to make a "bag" out of it, there are realy no metal points where I can hook it on as far as the upper side of the trunk goes. I took a picture of what looks like a plastic opening that allows you to unscrew the whole side boot plastic cover (just a guess)...and that's the only point where I can attach the net to.

Same for X7, usable cargo length behind 3rd row seating is short and doesn't require retractable cover.

Btw, I just realized today that the foldable trunk cover on the X6 can be nicely stored under the main compartment, fits right in...Noice!

Don't think so...too shalow. The only spare you might fit there is a bicycle one. Honestly, I don't have runflats on the 22"s and there's no spare either. I'm not sure I would be changing a tire myself anyway...I'd just use the BMW roadside assistance
