Pull out loading floor - how is these connected to the chassis

[528i tourer]

Does anyone in here has got the pull out loading floor in his touring? How is this loading floor connected to the car ? I mean, looking to the pic below i see there some rails, but how are they connected to the chassis ? are the touring already prepared ?

Without going to the diagram to double check the part nbr index below the diagram...I already know that the CIRCLED numbers are hardware. And the hardware items have their OWN index within the diagram (note the rectangular boxes along the right side of the diagram).

Again, just looking at the diagram in your post...#7 is the rail (which you probably have two of)...and #6 (encircled) is the hardware that holds the rail to the chassis. Looking at the hardware index inside the diagram...it looks like it is a hex screw. When/if you do look at the part nbr index...there should be a number listed in the QTY column that indicates how many #6s are required.

THANKS!

I'm lost now...I don't understand what you are asking me.

Sounds like he has a touring w/o the sliding load floor and he wants to 'upgrade' to the sliding load floor.

Tell you the truth, I think the loading floor is more of a pain than benefits. I haven't pulled out the floor for more than a dozen times since I own the car. It can rattle when going over bumps.

but sometimes could be very helpful, isnt it ?
Yeah, i plan to have some kind of loading floor in my touring. Now i dont have it and would like to know what i need to upgrade

Oh okay. Well, you'd at least need just about everything you see in the first diagram you posted. Then I'd go back and check to see if the storage pieces UNDERNEATH the floor have the same part nbrs as well. They could be some pieces that are slightly different due to the moving load floor.

You'd also need to remove everything that you see in the 2nd diagram you posted for the stationary floor. And that includes that big plastic piece (#2) back by the bumper/tailgate...plus the tie-downs...as well as the large section (#22) back by the rear seats.

Good luck, but like Matrixz stated, the pull out load floor has a reputation for being noisey when the cargo area isn't loaded down.
