Mine doesn't

More BMW cost cutting - they have also removed storage nets from the back of the front seats, torch from the glove box, can chiller in armrest, ipod holder under armrest with 6FL option. Bloody tightwads

hmm I still got my nets on my M sport and I did not spec the extended storage. as already had a boot net

That weird your dealer didn't show you that when you bought the car.

Craig, 50 miles is plenty to charge your battery, there was no need to take it out.

You could also have used the jump connector (big terminal with red cover) under the bonnet for charging without removing the battery.

50 miles should be yes .... but the disc was still black, and I kinda didn't trust it if you know what I mean.

Yes I could have charged direct, but I don't have a garage next to my house, and the one I have has no power running into it. (Military House, etc, etc)

While washing the car today I made a point of checking my LCI for a keyhold in the boot. It's there. Mine is a September 2008 build.

I thought mine had one until I read this post.....so I went and checked.....and it ain't there

Wonder why some of us have the keyhole and others dont??

Strange!!

They removed the M3 boot key hole to make the car go faster....... less weight and all that.

I suppose it was to make up for lack of torque we have

Bit late to the party...................But i guess you've never thought about locking your glove box? And/or how to achieve that 'without a key'

Glad you got it sorted

The plastic service key (ideal for the wallet) is no longer issued with the current UK 320D M-Sport 59 reg motor.
