Is a $9.95 cargo net in an X5 sacrilegious?

I installed this cargo net from a local auto parts chain. It was a lot cheaper than the $62.50 BMW net, looks just as good and seems to work just as well.
So, is putting a $10 net in a new X5 a sin?

Buying the $62.50 net is the sin.

I agree I think that's what I bought and have it stuffed (never used) in the side of my trunk. I think mine goes across the floor rather than across the back though.

I'm using the Rola 59001 Rigid Organizer in the back of X5 and that works well for me.

I bought a large rubbermaid bin that fits under the roller cover and next to my 10" sub box. Great way to organize all my trailering stuff and tools, tow straps etc, while leaving the rest of the bay open for groceries, duffel bags and cases of beer lol

dude...
it's your car, put whatever you need to back there. No one will know it is the 10.00 unit, or care.

I need a cargo cover. BMW sells it for $300 bucks. I laughed when the guy at the parts counter told me the price. He didn't find it as hilarious as I did.

Cargo Floor Gas Strut - Part Costs

Hey, if you think that's funny...I discovered that I can order parts that will keep my cargo cover suspended "up" when I need to load stuff in (I don't have 3rd row seating) It's only 3 parts, but the price spread was increadible!

Gas Damper (P/N 51479149120)
Irvine BMW $77.88
Crevier BMW $88.16
getBMWparts $39.18
onlineBMWparts $39.18

Bracket (P/N 51479138212)
Irvine BMW $24.00
Crevier BMW $24.00
getBMWparts $6.40
onlineBMWparts $6.40

Screws (4 needed) P/N 07129903027
(Yes, I'm lazy, I could have gotten them probably at the hardware store)
Irvine BMW $2.00 each
Crevier BMW $4.50 each
getBMWparts $0.96
onlineBMWparts $0.96

I elected to use onlineBMWparts.com as there shipping was $4 less than getBMWparts, but with shipping the cost was $62.32, compared to $130.16 just for the parts at Crevier!

Nice pups, though the one on the right has a mighty large tongue! Slurp!
