Hi guys,
Recently watched a LCI e60 reviews video on internet and noticed a torch in the glove box, so i pop in my 5 to see whether i can find mind...and the answer...is NO....i know they are in my friends E39 as a standard....but why i don't have one?
Just wanna know how many of you have or have not had the torch in your glove box....and want to know the reason behind.
Cheers
Keith

Its standard for North America... I have a bunch of extras... if you were in the US I would say pay for shipping and I'll send you one. But sending it to the UK / HK might cost just as much as buying one from the dealer.

Thanks for your quick response folks!!
Now I think i know where the socket location is (Cos it had a plastic cover on it and it is hard to notice if your 5 hasn't got one as a standard). Probably grab one on Ebay today !

No torch in mine...........
Forgot to take it out of the X5
I do use the torch power output via a lead to power my speed camera detector though so I'm not sure whether I need one now

My tried and trusted 3 D-cell Maglite remains tucked under my seat, so never even thought about the BMW snap-in 
Have had the thing for about 6 years now and nothing beats it.
