hey im interested in getting the e60 coathangers that are fitted in the back of the seats, i use a lot of coats and jackets and they just dont belong in the trunk, so if anybody has them any reviews or pics would be helpful, thanks.

I've got it and it is a very nice item. I have it permanently in my car and the hanger is a bit elastic making it very easy to change a coat.

I have one as well. The BMW part works well.
I had one from Griots Garage but you need to remove the headrest (which I am not sure is possible) for that one, so I got the BMW one.
It works fine. I'll try to post a pic in the next day or so.

After $50K plus for a car, what's another $50 or so?

it looks nice but i'm wondering what if the rear passenger doesn't wear seat belt and you got an accident (knock on wood)? will it be dangerous for him/her ?

That's why I don't have any rear passengers.
If there is a situation bad enough that it becomes an issue, then I have far bigger problems.
Also, it is Very easy to remove, if and when necessary.

Yep. With passengers you simply remove it!

The passenger would probably sue the driver, and the driver will probably sue BMW (no, I'm not calling you SUEBMW ).

There's a small hook for coats next to the passenger grab handle in the headliner.
