Funf Dreisig AG releases 'must have' X5 accessory!

I noticed that your company is based in Europe (AG.) Will there be a NA subsidiary? Also, will your company make both left-hand & right-hand versions. I noticed in the pic it was only available in right-hand setup's.

Dang! Like many German companies our leadership group is populated with really nerdy engineers. We desperately need a VP of Marketing to think of stuff like that.

While I appreciate the humour, would it not be an option to just purchase the custom-designed spring-assist strut that BMW install in this vehicle in other markets? (As Weasel suggests, and which other owners seem to have done?) I am sure if BMW NA was able to charge world prices for this vehicle in North America, they would be more likely to fully equip the vehicle with features such as this that they have already designed and sourced. Since they can't, you get a decontented version. You may even have the spring bracket already, from reading the posts above.

Item 5 is a gas pressurized spring, part number 51476980060, $57.09
Item 6 is a spring bracket, part number 51479138212, $10.17

All info from Real OEM.

I see no reason why we should buy this from BMW. It's very clear that BMW see's no reason why to allow us to access our spare/tools in a convienent manner.

Therefore, its up to companies like Funf AG to research & develop alternative methods to combat the superior engineering that BMW has shown in this department.

The shorter answer to your comment...yup - much easier. But clearly not as fun as pointing out the stupidity/cost budgeting crisis at BMW.

My guess is they have a few of those geniuses, all culled from or,
attuned/aTwitter'd to the Biff&Buffy Brigade. That inner sanctum
has brought "innovations" like: no dipstick, a vacuum gauge/mpg gauge
in place of an oil temp/gauge, few diesel picks for the US, PDC, and
assorted other gizmos and "features". Next up, I smell lane change
notification, drowsiness warnings, auto braking, sealed hoods, etc.

Funny stuff, Funf!

If you put the official BMW emblem on it I'dpay an additional 10 bucks

It's a great design, I already see multiple uses for the "device" when it is not propping up the cover
