My 2005 Lt didn't come with the BMW Luggage rack but for really short money I have been able to pick up one off Ebay. ($50.00)
My problem is making a template with the proper registration to drill the holes. I have the trunk the rack came off and have traced a hole pattern from that one (2002). I made it out of paper and tape and was able to have it conform to the top of the lid. It looks close enough but I am a little reluctant to drill holes and have them come out in the wrong place. I really don't want to go to a dealer to have it mounted, so have not yet asked if they have a factory template.
Ok so the questions are, does a dealer template exist, does anyone have one, should I just use the one I made? Any advise/suggestions?
