Cargo compartment tray

We just purchased 35d from dealer,has the spare. Want to take out while in town and put in the tray that I see in pictures. Where can I get this?

What tray?

I'm pretty sure the whole underfloor compartment is different between spare/no spare models.

Models with no spares have a huge carpeted storage place, whereas the ones with the spare have it gutted out.

Thanks for posting that pic AU now I know what the holes are on the underside of my trunk deck. It's the mounting holes for the thing that keeps the lid open!

Yup, there's someone on here selling the lid mechanism for pretty cheap. It's essentially bolt on. BMW doesn't have it on US-spec models

Do you have a link? I would love to add this to my soon to arrive 50 M-Sport.

AutoUnion...I've searched repeatedly and can't find a link to the bold on lid mechanism (assumed to be a hydraulic piston of sorts). I'm probably brain dead on my search capabilities today , but do you by chance have the linK?

The parts are:
51-47-9-149-120 strut $37.86
51-47-9-138-212 plate $6.12
07-12-9-903-027 screws $0.96 (Need 4)

The prices have gone up. If you use a BMW dealer that has an online store, I found one where you can get all 6 items for $67 shipped.

This?

Maybe I'm dense, but if you want something that comes from the factory in some BMWs, wouldn't the BMW dealer's parts department be the place to start?

What am I missing here?

Please note that the "tray" is actually "formed carpet" rather than any type of "hard "tray" that it may appear as in these photos. I have the exact same as shown in these pictures and am interested in selling it as I have ordered the spare tire kit from the dealer and could always remove mine. I know that some have simply put their spare right on top of the carpet so that was what I had been planning but if I could sell it and recover some of the cost for the spare I had to order, I am all for it.

The part is #16 on this page & sells from BMW for $155.54.

I am open to selling it to you for $100 which would save you over 30% ($55). It also looks like it it currently secured with some of those plastic clips (#17). I have no idea if those would be reusable or not but they look very inexpensive even if you had to get new ones from the BMW parts desk (Of course, I would send you mine if they are reusable). We would just need to work out shipping cost (probably about the same as you would have paid in taxes) and shipping method as it is a bit bulky. However, it would be very lightweight so that should help keep those cost down. Private message me if this is something you would be interested in.

Brain309 - Sent you PM details on how to pay. It's packed up and ready to go.

Sometimes I think it's ridiculous the stuff we don't get on us models, but then I think about the fact that we must be getting smoking deals on vehicles if the go to the work to cut such minute parts from the assembly process.
