I have a similar problem from loading stuff in the back and I always think I'm careful. Mine is black rub marks on the tan surface. I'll have to look into a protective sheet as well.

Yes, the inner piece does rub against the tailgate door, but that has felt, so no scratches....

This seems like a pretty good idea and worked for him... The carbon fiber on the X5 actually looked very good, and did not scratch and apparently the customer has had it on since delivery of his truck about 5 months ago....

So, I guess I am in the process of getting a sheet of adhesive carbon Fiber.... I will look online later, determine how much i need and go from there...

When i start the project I will take pics, I did not have my phone with me when I went to see the X5

Something like this...

carbon fiber sheet | eBay

Now, there is a local tint shop near me that says they can do carbon fiber wrap..(Not sure about that, but he does have a tricked out e92!) of course I wasn't driving the x5 when I saw them, but I will go there tomorrow for a price and see if its worth getting it done, or a fun DIY project for the weekend...

As you can see, carbon fiber carbon fiber sheets are not expensive on ebay,

Stay tuned!
