Passenger footwell net - where exactly does it go?

[ZedFourM]

Given the lack of storage in the Z4, I've purchased a passenger footwell parcel net to install. This is just held in place by 4 big "self-tapping" type screw clips that go into the carpet.

I'd like to get it placed exactly right, if possible. Would anybody who has one installed be willing to measure where exactly in the footwell the clips should be positioned (or even post a photograph)?

How is this...?

Where did you get this from, and how much was it?

Got it from my local BMW dealership (Scotthall Hampshire BMW) but any BMW dealers should be able to get it for you. Lots of people on this forum have also reported good things about Sopers of Lincoln BMW if you need mail order.

Price was about £13 for the net (part 51.47.7.114.523), plus about 30p each for the fixings (part 51.47.2.263.062).

(There was also a photo on here a while back where a Z4M owner had attached a couple of these to his battery box. It looked like a very neat solution for carrying small bits and pieces in the boot.)

BMW Direct are also selling them on eBay

Here's the original post on where/how to fit them in the footwell.

Is that a Portaloo in the right hand side of the boot ? oke:

As per the other thread, there's only a small area where there's enough heat/sound-proofing behind the carpet for the screws to go in to. Anywhere else and you'll hit metal and have half the thread sticking out.
