2010 M 3 - Power Outlet

[Auroraboy]

Have a 2010 M3 Sport GT. I noticed there is no cover over the 12v charging outlet behind the pop up door, beside the seat heater controls. Can anyonoe with a 2010 confirm they have the same thing? Seems odd there is no cover, unless there was one and I misplaced it.

Are those small rechargeable flashlights small enough to allow the cover door to close?

Thanks

i had a 2010 GT not long ago, and it didnt come with a cover for the outlet behind the pop up door. dont worry. i think you have to buy it as an option. they probably didnt put it because they dont encourage smoking lol

Got smart and contacted the dealer. The GT's do not have a cover on the 12V outlet. Other models (without heated seat controls) do have a cover over the power outlet because the whole compartment is bigger and other things can be stored in that area.

The 12v outlet on the GTs is behind a very small door - so they assume it will only be used to insert some sort of charger - versus used to store stuff.
