Glovebox Mystery!
I’m not certain I’ll be able to host an image but will try. I discovered a slot/port of some kind in my glovebox. Right hand side for those of us that are in the US. I thought initially that it was a charging port for a key fob, but clearly doesn’t fit. The manual made no mention of this and an image search didn’t turn up an exact result. My best guess at this point is maybe something related to CD changer, which I don’t have. Small metal tab in the center with some guiderails all around, just about the size for an fob. Anyone know for certain what this is for??? It’s not the USB port. Once I find a place to host my image I will add it.

You're missing a detachable cup holder so better ask whoever sold the car to you.
It looks like this and that's how it stores in the glovebox and it also slots into the side of the centre console.

tranquility, you nailed it. That's exactly what it is. I've got the cupholder and have even removed it. I never made the connection that BMW may have designed a built in storage slot. Thank you!

Do you have a picture of how it is stored in your glovebox?
I am installing a cupholder right now but like to know how to store it in the glovebox when not in use. Thanks |
