Delete or keep 441 smokers package? - New 2009 2010 BMW Z4

pmw103 · 09-12-2010, 06:53 AM

Hi All,
For those of you that don't smoke in your car,

When you ordered your Z4 did you remove or keep 441 smokers package?
I believe BMW includes it by default.

Would be interested in people's views on this.

Does anyone know what happens if you don't have 441 smokers package?
Do you get additional storage?
Thanks
Paul

I had it deleted, you get a open storage space where the ash tray went, also a 12V input in left side of the passengers footwell. I find the open storage space useful, wallet, phone and other bits and bobs from my pockets.

Hi John,
Many thanks for the feedback that's really helpful.
I think from what you have said Mum would do well to delete it.
Have a good day !
Cheers
Paul

I deleted it and use the tray for my TomTom

It depends if you want the little extra storage space or the convenient lighter socket.

the lighter socket you still have (12 volt outlet - no lighter) located under the dash left hand side of the passenger seat.

Isn't there also another one under the arm rest? Seen it but never used it.

Hi All,
Thanks for the feedback this is really helpful thank you!
I think she will delete particularly as she won't loose the 12v socket.
Cheers

As a none smoker I left package on because it's a handy place to keep cash

Many thanks for the link that's really helpful!
Actually seeing that I think Mum might leave 441 in, although its less practical.
I think she will think it looks better with a cover .........

Yes but that one can't be reached from the drivers seat. It's a real pain to plug the V1 into there so I leave it plugged in all the time when on trips and stuck under the passenger seat when parked.
