Load cover

Will a load cover from a e70 fit in a e53?

I see there seems to be  2 types. Mine looks like it takes the roller blind type

No I don't believe it will. I had a mare getting one for my E53. Used eBay in the end.

Hmm.. This is the one I have found, says it was from a 2008 e70 - but the bar looks like it would fit into the slots..Image

I cannot guarantee that would fit but that looks very much like the one fitted to my car.

It drops into the slots at each side and although obviously not the correct size seem to work well enough.
