Any ideas where they can be stored and readily accessible? Glove compartment is too far away and inconvenient.

I wrap mine around the shifter... stays there most of the time even during modest "spirited" driving

I put mine right in front of the Idrive/nav screen area. Easy to access and out of the way, they haven't falling off once yet, even in "hard" driving.
