F32 under trunk storage?

I've searched the Forums and Google and haven't found an answer to this question: I have a 2020 F32 440i and am looking to store some basic tools, jumper cables etc., in the well under the trunk floor but don't want to toss them in loose. Has anyone found a storage container, bag, or kit that fits neatly in that space?

I don't think there is a BMW solution to the problem but maybe a nice aftermarket container? Advice/suggestions appreciated.

Nothing... that is why mine is filled with rugs to cushion tools in there. (I put 1" soft foam on each side and bottom)

Husky makes some nice soft tool boxes / bags whatever you want to call them. Not expensive and work nicely for why you need.

Not an f32 but whichever car I store stuff, I just wrap it in a cheap towel. Never know when a towel comes in handy.

Nice low-tech, dual purpose solution!

Quick follow-up: this Husky available at Home Depot for about $20 fits perfectly and holds my jumper cables, hand tools, flashlight, mini-compressor, and an emergency triangle. If you overfill it, the trunk floor will be raised up slightly but leave some space on the bag and this is a fine solution.

Towel and floor netting. I don't keep anything in my car personally except for power brick jump starter that also charges my cell phone and has a flashlight. It is a powerall and fits in the under trunk bin in its own carrying case. I have roadside assistance so figure I'd keep less stuff in the trunk so less weight to haul around and more cargo space for recreational gear. I did at one point attack some Velcro strips to the powerall and the other side to the tray on the left with the netting and had it plugged into the power outlet so it would top off the charge whenever I'm driving as the outlet turns off after you park preventing battery drain. That way I have backup battery whenever I need it.
