E53 boot tidy

Having picked up my 2006 3.0D Sport last Friday (I know, it didn't happen without pics!!!) I've been trying to put all my kit in the boot that I used to have in my E39 Tourer and failing miserably. 

I'm not saying the lack of space would have been a deal-breaker but I hadn't twigged just how poor it is in comparison to the Tourer.  In the right hand space I used to store a full set of goretex waterproofs, hat, work gloves and small toolset.  In the left hand (with the 6 CD changer) was a tyre pump, a folding shovel and a torch.  Under the floor in the recess above the spare wheel was a German army folding mat, a set of heavy duty jump leads and various other bits and bobs.  Coiled in the spare wheel well was a good size tow rope.

So, what I need is a boot tidy with plenty of pockets but which still allows the right hand rear seat to fold, any suggestions please?

I have a stretchy cargo net attached to the hooks in boot with all my gear stored safely below - All kept tidy, easily accessible and no rattling about.

You were obviously never a boy scout :)  Seriously though, I spend weekends away rough camping and you should never ask a man what he's doing when he takes a shovel into the desert!!!!! (Ice Cold in Alex ;) )

That's the sort of thing thanks but I'll probably need 2 with all my clutter :)

I guess that would work but I would need to pile all the other gear on top so I think the bags are probably the way to go.
