First Mod: Trunk Liner Lift Handles

farishat · 01-23-2024, 07:21 PM

I hated not having easy lift handles to get to the battery (and storage) under the trunk liner. My E46 had that, albeit there was a spare tire underneath.

So, a drill, two holes and couple leather drawer pulls with couple of chrome rivets later...

Does this count as a legitimate "mod"? 😂

Next, I would like to put a side net back into 2024 that BMW decided to leave off. Any idea how one can retrofit these from say 2022 model, and what parts are needed? Thanks!

Need to 3d print something now...

Could use these as pulls:
