Came in the side well in the back of my car. Looks like fabric folded up. It's in a sealed plastic bag. ? | | | 06-04-2012, 10:05 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Broomfield,Colorado Posts: 664 | I have that in mine as well and I think it's a blanket, not to sure though Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 | | | 06-04-2012, 10:19 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | The word Teile means Divide. Maybe it's to cover the bodies of the dead inside the hatch prior to Dividing them. I could be wrong...this is just a guess. Anyone else have a clue? __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 06-04-2012, 10:44 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 | Quote: Originally Posted by teetime4one The word Teile means Divide.

Could be a dash cover or something. | | | 06-04-2012, 10:49 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | I still have one of those. I just assumed it was a towel for cleaning your hands after changing flat tire - I've never opened it. Total guess though. Interesting when you Google "original bmw teile" a 318ti.org link is #1! We didn't know in 2005 either Last edited by CirrusSR22; 06-04-2012 at 10:52 PM. | | | 06-04-2012, 10:55 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 159 | Quote: Originally Posted by teen ti hahahaha, Teile is actually plural for part (means parts) and in some parts of germany is used as slang for male genitalia why not open it up and enlighten us? | I guess I could open it. Although, maybe it's like a old action figure and will make my car worth $100,000 because it has a genuine unopened thingamajigger. no? I figured this was a silly question to ask on here but I was curious and thought everyone had one. It has it's fitted spot in the right side well. | | | 06-04-2012, 10:59 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 159 | Quote: Originally Posted by CirrusSR22 I still have one of those.

We didn't know in 2005 either | Ahh.... http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...17&hg=71&fg=05 I am guessing. Polishing cloth or protective tire cover. Neither of which is very exciting. oh well....moving on. | | | 06-04-2012, 11:04 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Ft Defiance, AZ Posts: 686 | Quote: Originally Posted by CirrusSR22 | i think youve got it __________________ 1999 BMW 318ti 2005 MINI Cooper S | | | 06-04-2012, 11:20 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 159 | Oh, how nice. Those Germans think of everything. | | | 06-05-2012, 02:13 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Broomfield,Colorado Posts: 664 | I guess i was wrong, but a tire cover makes more sense | | | 06-05-2012, 11:22 PM | #13 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | Yep- tire cover. Mine is still in the bag too. I think it is actually NLA so maybe worth keeping nice??? | | | 06-05-2012, 11:31 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | The OEM plastic liner in my hatch well prevents a dirty tire from mucking up the carpet and eliminates the need for the plastic bag. | | | 06-05-2012, 11:39 PM | #15 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | I have no spare so I don't have that worry. I carry a plug kit, fix-a-flat and a compressor. It did not help much the one time I needed it: the stem was damaged... | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
