Retractable load floor project almost complete! Help
 

I've sourced all the parts for a light beige Retractable Load Floor. There's just one piece I'm missing. The carpet that covers the spare tire. It looks like this.

I can't find any part numbers or even a reference of it.
Here is a list of parts needed.

Since you have no model or model year info...had to look generically...and I don't think that cover you pictured comes in other colors (at least not using my 06 4.4 as an example)...it's the regular or same color as all trunk material.

And many e53 don't have covers over the spare...just the lift up cargo floor on mine.

See item #17 in the diagram at this link: http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E53/USA/X5_4.4i-N62/L-N/dec2005/browse/vehicle_trim/trim_panel_trunk_floor/

Thank you. I should have caught that.

:thumbup:Nice!

No problem, you're welcome...it is kind of odd in that the part is listed in the diagram with the regular cargo floor & trim panel/trunk floor stuff...and the diagram with the pull out load floor doesn't include any of the other trunk trim.

Thanks for posting back you got the info you needed. :thumbup:

Now if I could just find the tray and cover for less then $300 :doh:

Made offers on fleabay that were accepted. $180 shipped cross country.

My 4.4 has the larger 4.8 brakes. I got the 20" alloy spare. This will sit over it nicely.

Thanks again

I would have given you my load floor parts for free to swap if you had black interior - I'm not too fond of the load floor

Lol. Too late. Color is not a problem. It's so easy to remove and staple/glue on new carpet.

Can a spare tire larger than the 7.5"x17 full size spare tire/wheel (wheel 130 many e53s got regardless if they had 17"/18"/19" wheel pkgs) fit in the spare tire slot and have the cargo floor fit over it flush? Perhaps the sliding floor sits high enough to use a larger spare tire/wheel. :dunno:

I have the regular cargo floor...and my summer 20" wheels will not fit in the spare location and allow the cargo floor cover to lay flat...and that's considering both...the 9.5"x20" (front) or 10.5"x20" rear. :(
