Boot key hook/ handle

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?

    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?
