Can storage compartment package be installed afterwards?
I've got a 2016 X3 on order and didn't order the storage compartment initially, but can see I might want it in the future, well, at least the rails.
Can they be dealer-installed afterwards? |

Most extended storage features are easy to retrofit yourself but some are very expensive as parts:
Rails and lashing eyes - requires new reversible floor, very expensive but rails just bolt in Extra nets - seat back nets not worth the effort and risk of damaging seat back panel clips. Others cheap and easy to do Elastic belt and extra hooks & eyes - easy, cut-outs in trunk side wall trim are already marked on inside, just need a good Stanley knife to open up holes. Low cost parts. Some screws needed Storage box under light switch - others have done it, see other threads. Inexpensive but potentially disastrous DIY if you get it wrong. Only possible if you don't have HUD or other electronics in the dash void Cup holders in rear seat - again, expensive parts Extra power sockets - needs wiring to fuse box - not worth the effort I miss the old E83 where the wiring harness was common and spare connections were neatly wrapped in foam and tucked under insulation ready for when you wanted to retrofit something. Who cares what it weighs - bring back old BMW engineering that allowed retrofitting! Last edited by zalagan; 07-02-2015 at 04:00 AM.. |
