Luggage-compartment package *with* 3rd row seat
I was looking for more info about "luggage compartment package" and found this thread: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1592961
I'm ordering 3rd row seat and the price for luggage compartment package is $100 (vs $450 w/o 3rd row), so I assume it won't come with the motorized cover. How effective is the rubber(?) strips on the trunk floor from keeping random things like grocery bags, backpacks, etc from sliding around? Also the net compartment on the right side, is that standard equipment or part of luggage compartment package? TIA |

I have the package and my plastic bag groceries go all over the place as do 12-packs of drinks. Plus if there is anything cold in the bags, they sweat all over the metal strips and leave ugly smudges. I think the strips are only good for actual luggage. I would have preferred to have just gotten the motorized cover without the strips actually. They always look dirty. Yes the netting comes with the package.

Anyway, somewhere in this forum there is an owner who made his own netting for his "non" luggage compartment pkg X5. Try searching for it, he did a nice job and it was rather easy to do. |

Just did a search (and it actually costs more than the standard - larger - OEM cargo mat. BMW. Go figure.):

I don't think that just putting a cargo mat over the auto cargo floor would work because you would have the issue of the little trap door wanting to open anytime some pressed the cargo cover button and you would also have to be sure you rolled back the mat anytime you wanted to lower the cargo cover into the floor to get it out of the way when you want to haul taller items. However, and I think someone may have already done this...you just trim your mat so it doesn't cover the cargo trap door but covers all the metal strips.
You could unplug the connector going to the rubber strips so they wouldn't raise but you'd still have the metal strips to contend with. I like the idea of the little rubber strips that raise but I really don't like the way BMW designed it for the reasons maczrool mentioned. |

. My wife's GTi uses velcro cargo blocks that work terrific, (bottom pic) so far I believe these are the best solution as they can be placed anywhere in any configuration. . |

Thanks for the answers!
Actually I'm happy to hear what hcastudillo said, because I want the compartment and net, but the metal/rubber strips sounds more like a problem than useful. |

Yep, agree - it limits the space. But that's probably the idea - to prevent something blocking the trap door, although I understand the door won't open if something covers it. Probably best if you had to transport something wet or dirty that fit within the mat borders and remove otherwise.
