That lock down shelf thing is there to prevent you from overloading the trunk and damaging the top mechanism when you put the top down. It's the same design as in my e93. That trunk is bigger, of course, but it does allow for a pretty decent sized suitcase and other stuff. You can buy luggage to fit the e93 trunk, and I bet before long there will be similar luggage for the new Z4. Does it cut down on cargo space? Yes it does - but then it saves you a very expensive repair bill if you should try to open the top with too much stuff in the trunk. Also - you cannot operate the top unless that "shelf thing" is in the closed position.
