seat back panel net / pocket?

Kracken · 01-17-2014, 02:45 PM

I have seen BMW's with these seat pockets but my 135 did not come with them. Is it possible to order these and if so, how are they installed? came up empty doing a search....

I have the msport seats and would really like to have these to put stuff in like the owners manual, etc

For anyone who knows, thanks in advance

pretty sure you can go to the dealer and ask them for one. Pretty straight forward install I think.

Yes, they were a part of some package. The dealer should be able to help you.

Thanks, Just ordered them. They are the whole panel with the net included. I'll have to figure out how to install them. Has anyone ever replaced the seat back panel yet?

I recall the seat backs have a series of clips that slide and lock into place. Fairly easily once you pop one out. There was a how-to I came across on here where somebody replaced their seat backs with carbon fiber ones.
