Nothing else to contribute, just the fact that people sometimes forget that BMWs are German cars and all these nifty little American inventions always tend to SPOIL excellent German engineering. I bet if the Americans never came up with 14+ cupholder capable minivans, to this day we would not see a cup holder inside a German car. Who has time to sip their 44ouncer while going down the highway at 120+mph? F that. Drive the car, don't be asleep behind the wheel!

Need a light under the hood? For what? To check the oil? Do that at the gas station. Still need a light under the hood. BMW engineers thought of that. A light suspended above the engine by 2+ feet will do you no good on a dark desolate street, thus presence of a flashlight in the glovebox.

Not a Flame, just use your brain. (that's why you have one, right?)
