Can someone post a picture of the trunk lid?

crzy4135i · 04-16-2008, 06:46 PM

I recall someone saying the 135i does not come with the folding safety triangle attached to the underside of the trunk lid. Does the trunk lid have the slot and retaining bracket for the triangle? Thanks

I've yet to see any US BMW that comes with a triangle.

required item in Europe, but not here.

drand · 04-16-2008, 09:11 PM

But is the holder for the triangle on the bottom of the trunk lid? Those of us doing ED get the triangle and I am wondering if the place to put it is there?

the trunk decklid liner has the molded area for the safty triangle but the straps that retain the triangle are absent

No triangle, but an indent.

Confusion,

Is that a dribble of shipping goopwax in center edge of your trunk lid, right by the trunk latch. I had it on mine.

Nope - the tools come in a little case, stuck under the trunk floor mat - in a little storage compartment.
