Am I the only one that retrofitted that mini-glove box next to the steering column? It holds about 3 pairs of sunglasses in their cases.
Costed next to nothing.

Can you post a picture of what you are talking about? Also, what was the BMW part number for this?

Haven't got a camera on me atm, will try to post later for you.
It is just a little storage box that replaces the gap next to the steering colomn.
I'm pretty sure it comes as standard on later models.

However, I seem to remember american models don't have this gap.

I'll try to find you the part number.
I'm sure if you search the forum it'll be on here somewhere, from about 1.5 years ago..

Glasses on my head. I usually end up with some sort of divot in the hair when I get home at night which always gives the wife a chuckle. The cell phone goes in the passenger seat along with wallet, just behind the knee support (ala earlier post). If I have a passenger, I put the phone in front of the screen, the wallet in the deep armrest and she holds the rest!

Same here, I have Maui Jim's which has a case that fits nice in the felt part of the door pocket.
