E9 new toolboxes available from BMW

[CTD]

Just a heads-up for everyone. I just got a call from my dealership that the E9 toolbox I ordered over 2 years ago came in. Backorders have been fulfilled.
Maybe call your dealership to ask for availability.

Good news! All the usual suspects seem to have them in stock...

Woo Hoo! That is great news! Maybe BMW is going to finally start reproducing NLA parts for our E9's!

Don’t count on it!

The original design is suboptimal so are these any different or will they suffer the same fate?

I read that the plastic used is totally different, so it should not break due to brittleness. I have using the new one with all the tools inside for a few years and so far no issues.

Same here.

Are these only unto 1973? Are they available for 1974??

 

[CTD]

I have picked mine up and it looks to be a different material. I am going to reinforce mine to be certain.

 

[Dick Steinkamp]

I have one of the new styles also. No problems.

I think that the tool tray and set of tools in our E3/E9s is a signature part of the car. It is one of those items that demonstrates how much BMW was paying attention to the details. I don't know of any other mass produced car that was doing something similar. Such a "finished" way of supplying tools and spares. A far cry from a tool roll thrown into the trunk.

 

[HB Chris]

Yes ju

Are these only unto 1973? Are they available for 1974??

Yes only until 9/73.

Wow, great news! Just ordered 1. I feel sorry for the person who paid $3k for the one on eBay

I've found that the later tool carrier is still pretty easy to find used in good condition. Several models following the E9 also used it.

New ones don’t come with the tools, did someone pay 3k for an empty box?

 

[teahead]

FYI, if your trunk requires you to slam it to close it, your tool-laden box may break at the mounting ears.

I would remove the tools except during car shows.

My $0.02.

The later 3.0Si and e12 boxes do not have allen wrenches so you need the 74 and on with allens.

Chris, are you saying the tool box Dick is recommending is not the same as the tool box in the 74 model?

From the schematic that box seems to have the allen wrenches ...

 

[HB Chris]

The e3 and e9 in 74 got the same box but later on the allen tools disappeared, it is in the FAQ. The “other models” is not correct.
