I believe the lifting strap was deleted at some point during production - I suspect because it was BMW's engineering department that came up with the idea as it was used on the X5 as well. My 2012 car didn't have one and the threaded inserts in the body had undisturbed paint on them, so it had never had one fitted from new. Good news is the bodyshell remains the same and secondhand straps come up on eBay. I fitted one to my 2012. I'm told that dealers actually sold them as 'upgrades' on some later cars sold - effectively ordering the strap as a spare part for an earlier vehicle and then fitting it as an accessory... 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica. Previous V8s: BMW 645Ci, P38 4.6, P38 4.0, Merc CL500 Previous others: Honda x1, Volvo x7, Rover x6, BMW x6, Ford x1, Mercedes x2, Skoda x3, VW x2, Renault x2, Citroen x1, Mazda x3, Nissan x1, Audi x3, Kia x1, Fiat x4, Subaru x3, Austin x2, Triumph x2, Jeep x2, Hyundai x2, Lexus x1, Mitsubishi x1, Saab x2... and some others I've forgotten! |
