Recently discovered a problem with the my boot cover, .... under the rear bar that fixes the rolers on either side, a few centimetres in from either side there is a rivet - the material was coming away/tearing. Don't know whether it is a one off - but it is worth others checking.
Took it to BMW garage & fair enough they took one look and ordered a whole new rear shelf assembly under warranty. Returned 1 week later - 5 minute job to replace it.
Good service in that respect - but I do wonder whether this may be a design fault?
Please see pics for where to look.............

I guess it's not a common problem then !! 
That's good.

My Ride:
I checked mine and can report:
1) The rivets are black in colour and not silver as I would have expected.
2) The fabric is 'straining' but so far the assembly remains intact.
I'll keep an eye on it though - thanks for the heads up!

Well spotted! I just checked my Mar '05 E61 530d and it's about the same as the pics posted ... guess I'll be asking for that to be seen to at the next service!
