Boot key hook/ handle

[Mazter]

I have seen a z3 with a boot handle/ hook, how do people open the boot normally? 

I would like to add one to the car, what's it called? I've tried to find a photo on google but don't know what it is called.

where would I buy one from? And is it easy to install?

Something like this?

Nope, nothing like that, if you look at the barrel shaft itself, there a peice of metal under the cylinder where you can wrap your finger around, like a hook

Think BMW do do a part - not sure if it's USA/UK though:

Apparently the hole may need to be bigger for it so may require some cutting unfortunately. May be worth speaking to your dealer as see if it's a part they can get...

Thank you! Any idea of what it's called?

No idea sorry, but you could definitely take that diagram with you to help the parts desk?

Thanks for your help, dealers no longer supply it,
