While i was test driving e90s, i never got one with idrive so i had that little pocket where the idrive knob goes. It completely didn't occur to me that i wouldn't have this space.

It's still cold enough in chicago to warrant a coat every day, so for the time being i've been sticking my wallet in my coat pocket for short drives. Otherwise, i'll usually stick it in the center console or, if i don't have a passenger, wedge it in the gap between the seat and the thigh support.

Some doctors say you shound't sit with anything as bulky as a wallet in your back pocket, it effects the spine in some way or another

selm · 03-27-2006, 10:45 AM

My wallet always stays in the front pocket as I don't want it to get stolen.

Agree with both of these. Cell Phone in other back pocket.

BTW Funny thread

I've kept mine in my front pockets as long as I can remember. Wallet in one pocket, cell and keys in the other. The three things I never leave home without. I've gotten in the habbit of patting myself down to make sure I've got all three as I walk out the door...

Also helps prevent pick pocketing.

When I drove my E46 I always put my wallet in my front pocket because the seat bolsters hit in just the wrong spot if I left in my back pocket.

Now that I have my E90, my wallet is thin enough that I cannot tell its even there!

I keep my wallet very thin.

There isn't much in it (money, license, bank card, credit card, medical card, dental card and NRA member card) so I don't even know it's in my back pocket.

I used to have a Costanza wallet. Now days I only leave the house with ccard, debit card, and cash in a money clip in front pocket.

Does anybody else get frustrated when getting out of driver seat and shirt, around lower back area, is all busted up and wrinkled. Dont care in bum around clothes, but pisses me off when I get to work or am going out. Is it just me?

CnoteMD · 03-27-2006, 06:02 PM

I have been using a "front pocket" wallet for at least 10 years now. Back when I did have a wallet in my back pocket, long rides were a bit uncomfortable.

My wallet has a space for my license, a few cards (metrocard, debit, credit, and insurance card) clip to hold a few bills. It's all I need to carry in a very compact space.

Same here - in my jacket. When I don't wear a jacket it's in the front pocket.

yep. me too.
i recently bought a louis key chain which has a little wallet of its own to fit credit cards, license, money, change, etc.

much more comfortable than a wallet in my opinion.
now i never forget my license at home!
