Question about the boot

hey guys, I got a Clubman loaner yesterday when my coupe went to service and I have a question about the boot.

Please check out my thread here.


just curious is that level floor an option or is that standard on all Clubmans

The level floor is standard on all Clubbies. The boot is a good bit larger than the Coupe. The extra length is split between rear passenger room and space in the boot.

I'm not sure if you could retrofit the foldable floor for the coupe. It might be easier to just manufacture something out of plywood and glue some carpet to it to make it look nice. Or you could just buy a Clubman...

up here in Canada, it is an option "Travel Package". I didn't order it with my Clubby. I need the extra space in the boot, so why put a level floor and loose precious cargo space (for me anyway)

The "Level Floor" Is only a standard item in the USA. All other countries it is an option.

Retrofitting a Level Floor to a Coop in not possible with the parts for a clubman as the holding brackets are welded in place and are covered with a removable plastic cover. They would also be much to long to fit in a coop as the rear space on a clubman is 6" longer than a coop.

As in you other thread on this subject there is a boot box available that has a cover to do what you want.

BTW in the picture form Real OEM part #5 is what holds #4 in place and can not be fitted to a coop, as i stated above.
