In Reply to: Deleted Glove posted by HuxleyD on October 21, 2000 at 20:24:55:

My 1991 E34 (525i) had the socket and no light, as did my 1996 E36--nice socket, no light. Now I use the Light Technology LED flashlight & jsut throw it in the glove box.

Just picked up my X5 and discovered that they deleted the rechargeable glove box flashlight! (Replaced receptacle with a plastic slug.) How cheap can they get, taking away a BMW "signature" item that's been in everything down to the 318i for so many years? Anyone else notice this? Looks like you could install a receptacle (61.13-8 352 336) and a rechargeable flashlight for about $50 bucks and be back in business. Query: Is the wiring harness plug for the receptacle hidden back there? -- or did they save the 50 cents worth of wire, too.

Oh well, everything else about the car is great.
