Cargo Cover
 

I am assuming there is no sliding cargo cover when you opt for the 3rd row seats.

I saw one in the showroom and there are the hardpoints to attach a cargo cover in a third row car. In addition I saw one on the lot that had both the cover and the seats. Unfortunately the cover does not appear to have the vertical net as it does in the 3 series touring and the X3. I am not sure how I am going to keep my dog in the cargo area. He treats the cargo area of my E53 like a dog crate.

Thanks for that.....so does that mean the cargo cover will come as standard if you have 3rd row too??

According to BMW Canada's website, yes it is standard

According to the uk brochure, to get the vertical net you need to specify option 413 Luggage Compartment Net. There is a photo in the brochure which I will try to scan today at some point.

Thanks,

I had not seen that on the North American options lists, the only luggage net that I have seen is the floor net.

Here is the scan from the UK brochure

BMW should have made that a sunshade like the A6 avant...but come to think of it, the sun has to be really low to get glare there.

i like that option :D

The net will be available in NA, replaces the cargo cover and has attatchment points - dealer installed option - I was quoted total cost @ $900 Cdn installed.

I am going to take my dog to some more training sessions - Sit Nero Sit!

it comes with the sliding cover even if u have 3rd row
