Two weeks after taking delivery of the car I’ve now installed my e-bay (Chinese) hooks. Following all the help in this thread it was under 30 minutes start to finish... easy Sunday afternoon job.

I think BMW heard you guys. They come with hooks now. At least the 2020 330i with RFTs and no spare tyre does.

If I'm not mistaken, those are pictures of the trunk closing latches, and loops for hooks to attach, no?
If so, they've always been there.

I doubt it is the trunk latch since its way inside (almost towards the bottom of the loading lip). And the hooks might be present in all the cars. I'm not sure because I haven't paid attention to the trunks of older bimmers. If they are present in all G20s and have been in all cars, this thread doesn't make sense.

Edit- I'm sorry. My bad. The OP says no hooks on the trunk liner and hooks to hang grocery bags. I thought that meant hooks to attach trunk floor nets. Sorry once again.

Can someone without the space saver spare in the US chime in with whether they have the net and the hooks?
without the space saver spare its only one hook on the drivers side of the car. I miss those hooks for grocery getting. The cargo net was great with stopping from everything launching everywhere with spirited grocery getting. haha

Instead of putting them in the location where they normally are, I settled for using the holes already in the trunk carpeting.

Here is the end result:
How are they holding up? I also have the spare and mine is missing the hooks

I wish my 23 M340i had those hooks. I had them in my 16 Audi A6 and my wife has them in her 18 MB E400 Coupe. What was BMW thinking when providing just one small hook?

I just received a set. I’ll be installing this week. Great little find. I also added 2 of the black factory hooks on the sides where it was just a regular clip before.

i was just looking at my trunk this morning trying to find where i can secure my leftover BMW net from F30.

I have the spare tire (raised liner)

The net in my F30/36 were very useful especially when i order food to go. It keeps the bag secure on the liner without spilling.

I only found the 2 rings near the backseat but there is no where to hook the other 2 hooks on the other side.

Installed Grocery Hook

Piece of cake. Filing of the piece took the longest.
Only installed one.
Used a very thin drill bit. Felt no resistance.
Used 3/4 inch self tapping screws.
Done!

oonowindoo ,
I used the same hooks you did. For the other two hooks, I used the metal loops that have netting attached on recess behind the wheel wells on either side of trunk

Hope that helps!

OP did you ever find a trunk mat that fits with the space saver spare? The OEM one doesn't seem to fit correctly
