I don't know if this belongs here or in Mods or in DIY. The moderators can move it as they see fit.

I am not familiar with other E60 trunks, but the Wal-Mart Sterlite 90qt. (85L) storage box fits in the forward section of the 545i trunk like it was made for it. It provides easy access to this hard to reach area as it easily pulls back to insert items. The box prevents items from being tossed around in the trunk when cornering. And if a bottle of bourbon happens to break, it is kept in the plastic box instead of spilling all over your trunk mats. And all for only $11.97 with cover. Thank the better half for this one. Enjoy

Hadn't thought about that. Good observation!

Good find, Curmudgeon. I found a black color bin with lid at my local Walmart on sale for $8.
