Do you have a part number for your cargo net?? Thanks, John

Hi John! 82 11 9 407 000.

Today was very successful day, got everything done I wanted to. Rack and pinion, brakes, oil change, and new spark plugs. All in all I'm happy, but the wallet is feeling a lot lighter now....

I like the idea of that cargo net, rather than the less useful cargo straps, but I would have to somehow modify it to work with my trunk liner (which is also very useful). Hmm...

Yeah, in my 540it, I use a cargo liner with the net. Good combo, when I get past other priority items, I'll look for a cargo liner.

got my summer tires back on the 325xi, soon I'll have both my ti's out

What's a cargo liner? Picture? Part number? Thanks, John

I suppose it could also be called a Trunk liner. I'm used to referring to the back of my 540it area as the Cargo area, rather than a trunk. Here's the rubber liner I have on the floor of my Tour's Cargo area under the Cargo net. BMW PN# 82 12 9 413 180


Oddly enough, I'm not finding a BMW PN for the 318ti, but I have to believe they did make one. Here's an example of one for a 318ti(Compact)

Here's a different sort of Cargo Liner for way messier or sloppier dawgs...

There's a bunch for 318ti models on the eBay.co.uk site.

On my 540it, the BMW Cargo liner has pre positioned, punch out openings near the fold down seats for the Cargo net hooks to raise up through the liner to hook on to. In the rear, the net hooks are assessable next to the Cargo liner. On the ti, I wonder if the BMW trunk liner has the same feature. If not, an x-acto knife works wonders.

P/N for the 318ti is: 82 26 9 402 851 Tischer sells them for $50. My liner doesn't have the cut outs for the hooks, but that may be because hooks were not OE on the ti's- only the rubber straps, AFAIK.





It's a nice way to keep the trunk carpet clean.

So are you saying that your ti dosent have the four tiedown loops in your cargo/trunk area?





Mine is a 95, I would have thought the tiedowns for the net hooks came accross the series.

The hooks that are attached to the netting are a BMW part. I believe E36 and later models all had provisions for this netting.

I agree on the liner keeping the carpet clean. My Rottweillers would have destroyed the rear carpet if not for the rubber liner. Thank you for the part #!

[zoner]

Whoops- you're absolutely right, those hooks are there on mine. I'm not sure what I was thinking, but I was definitely thinking of something else. Although, there is no cut-out or anything marked on the liner (not that it would be hard to cut it out anyway).

Very nice accessory...thanks for the information...I think that I will get one.

Picked up a set of vaders for 250 on cl, they will need a bit of love and clean up, but my ti will be thankful.
