YES!! So glad for this thread and that I stumbled upon it sooner than later! I used the net in my x3 all the time and got disappointed when my dealer told me the x5's came without a net. I thought about buying a net too. Thanks!

The styrofoam insert for that compartment is designed to hold the bmw first aid kit in the larger receptacle. The smaller narrow opening is designed to hold the BMW warning triangle in an upright position. I kept my bmw warning triangles and first aid kit from my European deliveries and they fit like a glove and the the cover fits back perfectly. On each successive bmw I get there is usually a hidden latch or compartment that fits these 2 items perfectly that bmw has designed into the trunk. I just keep moving them from car to car as I replace bmws.

I just bought my x5 last week and after finding the still wrapped net, I realized this was that same compartment in the x5 as my previous cars.

I discovered the net in my new X5, but no idea how to fit it! I can see where the top hooks locate, but not where the bottom hooks go. It looked like these might be behind a covering but I couldn’t get the covers off - any suggestions?!

Wow, just discovered the cargo net on 2015 vehicle. Filled it with five bags of groceries for a white-knuckle trip home. No dramas with the food. Great!

BTW, attached bottom hooks to cargo tie-downs on rails.

After seeing this thread the other day, I immediately went to see if my 2015 had the net...it did not just an empty space with a black rectangular electronic piece of some sort, not entirely sure what it is though.

Found my cargo net in the secret x5 compartment

I just wanted to thank the poster regarding the x5 cargo net. I found my net in the secret X5 compartment after reading this board yesterday. I just upgraded from an x3 and missed not having the cargo net in the x5. I thought the x5 didn’t come with a net and was ready to buy one before reading the post on this board. Thanks again

Just picked my first x5 2 weeks ago. Don't feel too bad about not noticing it considering some of you haven't noticed it in years

I bought mine used. However, I swore I looked in that compartment and didn't see any plastic wrapped netting. I'll look again tonight and check.

Not likely, but a possibility that the dealers that are aware of the compartment went through all of their X5/X6/X4/X3/X2/X1's and removed the net to sell to the customers separately.

I wouldn't be surprised.
