How many lashing eyes came in your GT?

I seem to have only gotten two of these:

I bought my car CPO last month, and I'm still getting used to all the extra space. While trying to devise the most clever and efficient use of the large cargo area, I came to realize that I only have 2 of the little locking doo-dads (officially "Lashing Eye - Lockable"), but I want more. The rail system is more prevalent in the X-series cars, for obvious reasons, and it seems that they get 4 with their cars.

Does the dealership owe me two more of these? Is anyone willing to sell me some of theirs? They're not exactly cheap @ $28 each... and that's the lowest I've seen them.

Awesome! I "bought it now" for less than the cost of 1 of them.

I had been searching everywhere, eBay included, using the full BMW part number (51477331198), but these are listed as just #7331198. That's actually all I can see on the items themselves, too. I'm disappointed with myself that I didn't expand my search to keywords to find this.

In any case... Thanks!

Do you know if the rails for these could be retrofitted?
