Hello all

Thanks.

Silicone key fob cover. Cheap, protective, grippy and works great.

Photos would be great if you can share

An "M" colored console knee pad, Smartliner Floor mats, and some storage bags for the boot...all 3 exceeded my expectations.

The most useful accessory would be the V1 Gen 2 radar detector, for some reason my X3 seems to get away from me speed wise. The V1 Gen 2 is mounted on a BlendMount.

M-colored pad looks very cool! Where did you buy it from?

Pity. It's unavailable

Keefy · 05-09-2023, 10:03 AM

From Amazon it was my key FOB cover and 3d Maxpider Kagu Cargo Liner.
From eBay it was my Genuine BMW Rear Flow Through Spoiler as I got 25% off.
From AliExpress it was my Mid-Trunk Spoiler.

Now that's what I call a nicely squared away boot liner....was it expensive?

It’s made in the UK and the quality is very good. I also have a Carbox mat under the floor liner that protects the loading lip and has a drop down flap that covers and protects the bumper if needed.

I also fitted some webbing straps, so it’s easy to secure stuff, and it’s easy enough to pull back the side trim to lower/raise the tow bar.

The custom liner was about £150 after discount, and it’s made by https://www.bootliners-uk.com/bl/bmw...iAAEgIaAPD_BwE

While not cheap, I love the painted roundels and floating roundels from IND.

I also like the maxpider floor and cargo mats.

Not for my X3 but this was the most surprising Amazon knockoff item I’ve ever purchased in the automotive category (my Apple Watch Ultra fake alpine loops take the #1 spot.)

I was thinking about getting something to organise the stuff in my boot. Do those storage bags 'stick' to the back of the rear seats thru velcro or similar?

I looked on Amazon but couldn't see the exact type that you have - do you have a link to those, pls?

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/stores/VEHEBE...1?ref_=ast_bln

Yes, they have velcro that adheres to the back of the seat, and they have straps that can go around the headrests if you need them. A very high quality well made product! The bag on the left side in the boot is a soft cooler, that does work really good! It slides out of the attached bag and can be taken with you or used in the cabin, pretty smart idea.

Here's a pic of the cooler bag that slides out of the bag on the left.

Link please? I'm looking into this now.

Question: Does your phone heat up a lot, or is it ok?
