Boot Lid Handle

Post by skelters » Sat Oct 20, 2018 10:25 pm

After almost 8 years of ownership over two Z4's I discovered there's a handle in the boot lid for pulling the boot down.

Should really have RTFM!


Tonight it's a 12 year old Cardhu with a drop of water. Very nice indeed.

Always use them. Think it helps reduce the chance of broken centre brake light.

The one on the left is a proper handle, the one on the right is more of a blanking plate :thumbsup:

Ewww look at all the exposed metal. Bit backward. Don’t get that in the more refined coupe. We have proper trim! :poke:
