Storage nets in Canada?
I believe that people in the US can order these storage nets (located on the back of the front seats) as part of their storage package.
Does anyone here know wether or not we can add this option in Canada? It's a small but practical addition. I'm not sure if it needs to be attached at the factory or it can be installed later on. |

Yes, a $350 option. And for that cost, I'd advise anyone to get it, I regret not having done so, it includes a bunch of other storage related things.

Thank you guys for your response. It's encouaging and informative. Will point out this package to my dealer here in Montreal. I would like to know what else is included in that package. Do you happen to know the code number for this option or if there is any list of all the packages available for Canada?

Regarding the cargo mat, I would probably wait for Weathertech to get theirs out as it will likely be cheaper. |

My understanding is that if you do not order the Storage Compartment pkg, the $350 option, you will NOT get nets behind the front seats. I think it's $350 well spent.

I don't have extended storage on mine and I did consider it and then regretted not ordering it for a while but, as Bimmer UK 76 pointed out (link), the nets just end up with permanent junk in them and look untidy. And do you really need the other bits? I might get the shopping hooks for the boot as a separate accessory but couldn't see any use for the other stuff. Had the car two months and no regrets for not ordering

I'm with Sfax - I regretted it at first but now think the back of the front seats look sleeker without the nets.

It's in the dash, between the steering wheel and the driver's door. Right under the light switch. It's about half as wide as the real glovebox, but reasonably deep.
You can clearly see it in the 15th picture here: http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...iaGallery.aspx |

I think the storage compartment package is a must in these type of car to attach heavy object in the trunk so you're not getting killed in a sudden emergency stop.

I used to drive CRV, Santa Fe and Tucson and transported a lot of heavy objects in the trunk without using any storage nets and never have any problems.....

Well, this storage net thing is another one of those personal choice decisions. I have ordered it for the small amount it costs as I often use nets, hooks and back of front seat nets for things like maps, grocery items, empty cans or bottles, etc etc. If you don't want it or haven't ordered it, no big deal, you'll get along fine without it. No biggie.
