I HATE how long cargo (lumber, pipe, etc) are flat in the G01 and are able to slide out. I am coming from an X5 with a split tailgate that I would only open the top half, lean long cargo sticking out on the bottom half, then tie down the top hatch.

Made up a quick and crude bottom tailgate. 4' x 12" plywood, some 2 x 4 's and hardware I had in the basement - cost me nothing. The 2 x 4 sits on the cargo floor and supports the weight, the plywood keeps it from falling in and some chain keeps it from falling out.

Love it! Seeing that go down the road would also be hilarious. But make sure it's secured the other direction, so you don't decapitate the front seats in an accident.

Nice! Points for creativity. Are you going to paint a big BMW logo on that?

I don't quite understand the purpose of this. If you were carrying long cargo, would the long cargo lean on top of this wooden bottom tailgate and then you would close the trunk as much as you can while transporting the cargo?

the plywood rests on the outside and holds it from coming forward

Nicely done! I could see myself doing something like that lol.

If you have a hitch, these work really well:

I don’t know if it’s a true or not, but does anyone know if cops can pull you over for driving with the tailgate up? I think the reason has something to do with the exhaust coming into the cabin. I remember reading that somewhere.

I didn't know such a thing exists until you brought it up. I will be ordering one. Thanks!

I am using this so much.
todays load was 3 sliding glass door panels and two 2 x 4"s.
I did'nt even have to tie them down, and had small stuff under them that had no way to fly out.

This is so cool! I love this idea!
