Bulkhead Storage Shelf

Post by SO8 » Thu Oct 16, 2014 9:06 pm

Ok, so my 2011 Z4 had a centre bulkhead storage behind and between the seats which was a fixed 3 shelf arrangement.

When I went to put stuff in the same place in my 2013 Z4 today I found a gaping hole to the boot. In the boot was a clip in cover with one shelf ! Now, having opened the packet and clipped it in there was clearly only one shelf supplied as the packet was mint and unopened ... so how do I get another one or two shelves ?

Do Ebay fo them ? BMW themselves no doubt will sell me an extra shelf .... or do I put up with just the one supplied ?

I like the idea of being able to get into the boot for longer items (though it won't be ski's in my case) but I was used to 3 shelves in my slightly older pre lci Z4.

Has anyone gone and got an extra shelf - if so where from ? :)

It's the thru load facility in lieu of the three shelf thing I believe

Our 2010 has 3 shelves in this space but it is also removable giving you space to put longer items

I must have a look at my 2014 in the morning.

TBH I never found the arrangement of much use in my previous E89s. Wrong shape for CDs or anything else.

Not sure about the LCi models but the shelving option came as part of - "S493A - ABLAGENPAKET - Storage compartment package". I think this also included the Luggage net behind the seats.

I have a net behind seats but thought we were talking about some arrangement in the boot. Have I misunderstood?

As long as I can fit a couple of movies in there, I'm game.

Behind the net in between the seats is a storage compartment.
The rear of this compartment can be removed from inside the boot giving you space to fit longer items that dont fit in the boot.

I'm pretty sure the three shelves come as part of the extended storage option, cost £175 or as a job lot with the comfort pack, certainly had them in my 23i and that had the comfort pack
