    Touring boot cover/bin?

    Hello,

    I was wondering, I found an original BMW boot bin, like this one:


    Anyone here got one of these? I was wondering will this leave indentations in the carpet on the sides, where the edge op the plastic touches the carpet covers? As I don't want to end up with lines in my carpet.

    Thank you

    I've sure never seen one of those before. What kind of nastiness are you planning on carrying back there?

    Just from looking at that picture it's clear that the top edge at the very least will dig into and permanently mar the carpet. It doesn't look like it's that tightly fit, though, so I would cut either thick cardboard or corrugated plastic to fit the floor and sides, then paint it if necessary.

      I don't plan on carrying nasty stuff, just cleaned my whole interior with an carpet extractor so I wan't to minimise it getting dirty again (I use my E30 as a daily) I kinda dig the look of the plastic tub?

      And yes, from the looks of it, it'll dig in the carpet. But who knows someone on here also has one and can give further info on this..

        I had one and it didnt stay very long. unable to get into the side pockets with it in and unable to use the larger space by folding the seats down. It did leave a line on the carpet on the sides.
