Nice - hopefully a sign of more good parts to come.

Did it come with the screws/bolts to mount it to the trunk lid?
Wow, BMW did something right! It looks fantastic, they should make the tool holder foam available separately too.
Looks very good. I pray that it is durable.
I would love to get one and actually store my tools in it!!
Does the material seem sturdier than our originals?

First one on the block to get one huh...looks real nice! :lol: Ordered one for myself also from W&N, when it does arrive, I would like to see what type of plastic the toolbox is made of. Hopefully, BMW is using the same material (virtually indestructible) as the later half shell boxes that were outfitted to the later BMW cars.
Yes,
Here is the link to the original announcement.

And the part number is: 71 11 1 102 916
There has been some mention of the fact that this part is only available from Mobile Tradition or Classic parts houses but that is just not true.
I got my from my local dealer for less than $300.

Yes, it seems very similar to my 88 M5 tool box.
Mobile Tradition, BMW Classic, it's all BMW, there is no difference, same source. Max and Ben would have you believe they are somehow exclusive parts importers, they arent, they use BMW just like the dealers. It all comes down to the best service, such as Carl Nelson or your favorite dealer with the best discount.
Thank you Chris,
I was trying not to step on any toes as I am relatively new to the E9 but not new to BMW parts and suppliers.
What you said............
You'll be an expert in no time!
i'll have to come by and see it Gary ... photos look great. thanks for posting to the group
