Hiya,

I would like to clarify why the presence of 12v outlets on the rear console.
Is this part of what is provided in the "smoker" option?

Regards
Andy - Newport

I would guess so - my US spec car did come with the rear 12v outlets as standard (but the inserts are just blanking plugs, not cigarette lighters).

I believe that UK spec cars do not have the 12v outlets in the rear console even with the smoker option. The "smoker" option comes as standard in all BMWs in the UK, removing them is a no cost option, however its only the cigarette lighter in the front only.

Andy,

I have the two 12v outlets but they only have blanks in. I wasn't sure what to expect.

I mean just how many fags can a family of 5 smoke on one trip

I have the same in my US spec 545i. My square headed kids might use the outlets to charge their video games. I am a smoker who never smokes in his car.

Hi,
This seems to be an interesting issue.
BMW5320 thinks that UK cars come with a blank plate, but Merv the Derv has just taken delivery of a UK spec car with two blanked holes.
I am not a smoker and would happily castrate anyone who were to smoke in my car, but I would like to have a plain panel (except for the seat heater switches) on the back of the centre console.
It sounds very much as though I will get what I am given and have to hope that it doesn't have the blanking plugs.
Regards

Volvo Driver,
I don't have a blank plate in mine. I have a storage area instead. Posted a pic here to show it last year but can't find it at present.
