Easy Installation of a Frunk for the BMW iX3 or the BMW iX3 LCI 2022

[@SimonCobb]

I installed the Wokeby frunk 18 months ago, and it has been faultless. Dry, rattle-free and very useful for chargers, towbar tongue and a few other items that you only need occasionally and which would otherwise take up valuable boot space. Highly recommended.

What about the original cover?

[@vasito6062]

I tried it, but as the original bumpers are covered now with the frunk, the cover will only sit above and is not stabilized 100%. So closing the hood is not working properly.

Useful vid thanks. Car is on order expected Oct 22 and this may well be my first purchase. Some queries: - I can only assume that it will need to be removed 'before' taking for its annual service at the dealership ? - As it has no lid does it seal well to the hood or should one expect some level of road dirt to work its way in over time ? What's your experience so far ? And I wonder why Wokeby didn't make the top lips/flanges large enough to cover the remainder of the (engine) bay much like the original cover. I still find it incredulous that BMW didn't bother making/fitting one. I mean bloody hell BMW...🙄

[@vasito6062]

dear paolo, as i dont know how your dealer would see this, i recommend to remove before service. between the bonnet and the body is a rubber seal that holds back the dirt and water. so you don't need to worry. for the other question concerning wokeby i cant give u a reasonable answer.

Can it be covered with the original plastic cover? It would be nice if it could be made less prone to getting dirty inside.

[@vasito6062]

That was my first idea as i installed it. I tried it, but as the original bumpers are covered now with the frunk, the cover will only sit above and is not stabilized 100%. So closing the hood is not working properly.

@@vasito6062 There's another product demonstrated here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boeanoafa6Zme68 but it looks like a home-made solution. I can't believe BMW did not bother to provide a proper frunk for such a practical car like the iX3...

@@PeterRince i saw this before on Facebook, the creator wrote there, that it is still a prototype and will be produced in Asia later.

[@WOKEBY]

Well done and you even did the hard "one handed" version 🙂 Will have to make my own installation video now within the next weeks as well.

[@vasito6062]

One-handed is really a cramp. but it worked. that speaks for the easy installation. I'm looking forward to your video.

Well done @Wokeby! I'm using your BMW i3 Frunk Cover and Trunk extension. Perfect. When I saw the first tests of this china-BMW-iX3 I linked you in my comment. Good that you have taken it up. Only with a trunk this iX3 is a useful e-Mobile.

Does this void your bmw warranty?

[@vasito6062]

Good question, i asked my dealer and they told me that it will not void it. But it would be nice if there is someone official from BMW who can give a 100% answer/
