Am I the only one missing grab handles?

Silly question - Do you guys have grab handles? What about shirt/suit hooks in the back somewhere?

I tried searching around the forums with no luck on this. I cannot be the first one to notice this, haha

No grab handles. But I think there are small hooks in the back.

I had posted about the missing handle for the passenger...1M had it...my wife missed it. Checked price & handle is not expensive but don't know about installation issues

Also can't be sure if the structure you'd attach to is designed to take the loads of someone hanging on it. If it's missing from the entire 2 series line, i'm going to guess the structure does not have the prerequisite backing structure

But I work in a totally different industry. Automotive might do things differently.

Personally I think the M2 has some of the biggest love handles on the road.

There is a worthless hook behind the seats at the top of the back window....I just put a hanger on the back side of the passenger headrest and loop it to the headrest pole....Amazon sells some hanger pieces that hook on to the back of the seat/headrest as well.

Add my wife to the list of people missing the passenger handle. It's her only gripe about the car. It prevents me from having any fun in the corners if she's with be because she gets thrown around. Bummer. Guess I need to strap her in the rear seat and tell her to just hunker down?

Set of harnesses and a roll bar should work

Have her tighten the upper bolsters to hold her in place... I think that's one of my favorite features... Keeps me nice and snug when the time is needed.

I've been told there are no handles because of safety regulations(?)which seems strange because other new BMWs have them(?)

In case of an accident/flipover/roll it's better to keep the hands arms near the chest and not in the air/grabbing the handle(?)

Anybody?

Cheers
Robin
