Strange isn't it... I've got fuses, tools, safety triangle and first aid kit. But I don't have an internal boot (trunk) release button nor do I have the rechargeable flashlight in the glovebox compartment...

Seriously , the first aid kit is totally worthless. It's a novelty.

Yes I'm sure your dealer took your first aid kit and played with the bandaides and put the tensor bandage on his head?

[/quote]You've missed nothing. Stopped at an accident on a highyway on Monday. Victim had heavy bleeding from a large gash in scalp. I ran to my car, pulled the First Aid kit and sh*% when I zipped it open. Suitable for maybe a childs doll house. Suprised the bandaids were not Charlie Brown or Snoopy stamped!
Ended up using a Griot garage drying towel (fortunately it was clean) I had in my trunk to control bleeding until parameds arrived. That soaked up the blood.
Like I said ,you've missed nothing.

Oh, and I must say, you did a great deed by stopping to help. I don't know too many people who would do the same.

[/quote]I did the ED thing and at drop off I took out the First Aid Kit and the Warning Triangle to make sure I would have them upon redelivery.When I took delivery at the dealer he told me that the First Aid kit was missing and they put in a replacement.IMO the First Aid Kit is a good thing to have it does have usefull things in it .
cheers

I am sure most of the E60 owners on this forum are bugged by squeaks & rattles. I had one that appeared the first day I drove the car. I was a very soft clicking/squeaking sound. And what make it worst was that it was not consistent. Some days I hear it and other days I didn?t. It got to the point where I always wanted the radio on!
Well, today I found it and I was very surprise what it was. It seems the small zipper pull on the first aid kit in the trunk was rattling against the compartment cover. The fix was easy. I just put a small piece of tape on it and it stopped rattling!
I mention this on the forum because others may have the same annoying sound and have not found it yet. I hope this info will help someone else.

Wonderful!
Isn't it great to know that the ride on the e60 is so refined that you can hear a zipper rattle ........in the trunk!!!
Oh the things we have to complain about !!!!!!
