When I sold my C200 Sport there was no way I was handing that golf umbrella over also.

How do you store everything, have a pic? Pet peeve of mines is having a ton of stuff, unless i can get it into one area all together. For my long trips i do just throw everything in a bucket though in the trunk. I also have another bucket up front with me to hold drinks/snacks. Kind of weird but works, haha.

^ It all fits either side in the cut outs, a nylon bag holds the tyre repair kit and tools, coil,fuses, with OBD on the left and the oil, extinguisher etc on the right with room to spare leaving the main space free. The BMW oil container bag has velcro on the back and can simply be stuck securely on the wall of the trunk anywhere above the cut out.

Fair enough Rick. FWIW I've got an Audi umbrella in the boot of my M5.

All in that bag? What kind of booster, or is it BMW one specific for Lithium?

cire · 09-01-2021, 08:17 PM

Just an AGM in the M5. My M3 had a lithium battery. Just a battery boost/charger from Canadian Tire here in Canada. I leave it under the shelf in the trunk/boot with the tire repair kit. I purchased the first aid kit off EBay as the original first aid kit was removed when the car was imported to Canada

At the moment.. 4kw Raytheon open array radar and displays, macbooks, sport jack, antifreeze/oil for top-ups, funnel, and car wash supplies.

cudakid03 · 09-03-2021, 05:05 PM

I have the weathertech liner. It fits like a glove.

M5Rick · 09-13-2021, 10:33 AM

That boot is huge with the fold seats if needed, one of the main reasons I bought it.

Blaxwil · 09-14-2021, 12:04 AM

Two bags. An overnight duffle bag and the golf bag. Everything else can wait.

Craze · 09-14-2021, 04:24 AM

My wallet and a pack of condoms

Everything else sorts itself out hahaha

Nah just some oil and a gps tracker hidden

Good thing to have the tracker, I make do with a steering wheel lock stick as extra protection.
