I did add this to my inbound. I will use the MCS as my company parts-hauler, and with the back seats down I needed both an organized back area AND something to level the surface to the seatbacks. This does the trick. Saw it on two other Minis, and it's perfect.

I have one of those as well. Comes in pretty handy for those HPDE events to carry all your tools, snacks and what not in. Just take it out when its time for you to go on track and put it back in when its time to leave. Everything in one little box.

So, it's really flush with the back of the rear seats when folded down? It's a bit hard to tell from the photo. I've been using a GTI to haul 4-5 boxes of books around and am hoping the RBB will do the trick.

We bought both the Boot Box and the Boot Liner, we took back the Boot Box because it did not fit flush on top of the Boot Liner. We are happier with out it, the lid was not secured to the box and was very flimsy. IMHO

does it fit exactly in the boot, does it stay in place or rattles?

I found that box to be too expensive (plus I needed it to support my weight when I sit back there to change into my golf shoes and others have said it wasn't that strong), so I built one for my R53. See this thread.
