F07 Rear Hatch Shelf Removal

Evening!

I've recently been lucky enough to get my hands on a 2012 535i GT as a slightly more practical replacement for my 1 series...

I was wondering if anyone has experience removing the rearmost parcel shelf (not the removable large plastic one) which sits just underneath the rearmost part of the hatch glass. Having had a quick go, I removed the 4 torx bolts but it still seem to be held in.

Many thanks!

Congratulations, a very nice looking automobile you have!
The parcel shelf in mine (a 2014, North American) comes off quite easily (no tools required) and can be stored in its compartment on the trunk floor. Surprised yours isn't also as immediately intuitive as that. I do believe that the rear seats have to be in the down position though.

Cheers for the response!

Turns out this year had two torx screws holding the shelf in. When removed it slid straight out, gives a bit more room for the dog!
