I have just purchased a '05 535D Touring and have noticed that there is no Torch in the glovebox.

I have spoken with the BMW dealer I bought from and he reckons that "they are not always standard". Is he pulling my **** or is it true?

There's usually a few available on e-Bay.

That's the route I was going to take before I was very kindly given one (Thanks Buckers)

Thanks for the replies (and thanks for subtly pointing out that I should probably search a bit better before asking)

I called the dealer and he's sending me one in the post - he's probably in the service area nicking one from someone elses car as we speak :-)

anyone knows that the charger is standard in a EU(Belgium) e60 from 2004?
I looked in the glovebox, but there is no charger in the left corner. It is closed with a small plastic and it is hard to pull it off.
I didnt pull it off because i'm scared that i break something on the car

One of the new "features" on the 2008 3 series is the delete of the charger port and rechargeable flashlight(torch). The have replaced it with an LED flashlight that uses an AA battery. 2007 and earlier had the same flashlight as the E60.
