Hi all,

I'm looking to get a boot liner for my new 2013 F10 535d MSport - for the 1st time ever, I put one into my X5 & never regretted it. The supplier I used then imports from the U.S. & doesn't stock F10 liners locally but is willing to get one from his U.S. supplier (http://www.weathertech.com/bmw/2012/...1/cargo-liner/) so I was wondering if anyone out there in the forum had bought decent boot liners for their F10s & could let me know the suppliers so I could do a comparison for price/quality?

Appreciate any info - thanks.

Have you looked at the BMW one - I bought the BMW original one - it was £76 in UK - it comes with a folding box and the sill protector.

This doesn't give you a box or a loading flap but the price is right and I found that it fitted perfectly and looks like part of the car once it is fitted. Highly recommended. (I have no connection with the seller, I'm just a satisfied customer).

PS - Although not widely known, with the E60 you could just flip over the whole carpet in the boot to make it rubber side up. My boot floor was spotless when I put the car back.

Yes - I priced it here in OZ & (as I expected) it was hugely expensive just because it has the BMW logo on it - AUD280; which is more than twice the OEM versions which are just as good quality-wise. Even the one I linked to above is less than half that price & it's good quality because I had one in my X5 which was gr8. BMW owners here know fully well that anything with the logo on it is VERY EXPENSIVE. As another example of this, I bought my BMW iPhone 4 cradle from a BMW dealer in the UK because it was AUD275 here but they only charged me AUD125 delivered from UK to Australia!!!!! Bloody ridiculous.

Good thought. Thanks. I'll follow it up.

Sorry mate - just noticed where you are. Might be a bit pricey to ship from the UK!

Finally - the local distributor for Weathertech has offered to import an F10 boot mat for me (strange they don't sell them here on a regular basis) - http://www.weathertech.com/bmw/2012/...1/cargo-liner/ for $A129 delivered to my door (Weathertech offered me the same liner sent from the US for ~$US250 to my door - freight is a killer I guess). I had one of these boot liners in my X5 & was very happy with its quality, ruggedness & fitness for purpose. That's one thing out of the way now!
