We don't have them down here in Australia too. It's just a plain panel for us. In fact, we don't have any of the power sockets that the Europeans & US get in the glovebox and boot/trunk.

It's another nice to have item for US e60. Although I never use them, becuase it's rarely anyone sit in the back of my car.

i smoke but i don't smoke in the car. it gives that funky smell when you do, so i ditched the cigarette lighter too so no one is going to use it.
