any tools in the 330i

FrankoQ · 04-28-2006, 07:55 PM

My CA says he is too busy since it's the end of the month.
so maybe you guys can answer the following questions

how many power outlets are in the car?
there is the cigarette Lighter
is there one in the globe box?
there is one inside the center console

I have seen pictures with power outlets behind the center console
facing the rear seat passengers. is that standard or an option?

lastly, since this car comes with run flats, does the car come with any tools to change a tire?

Thanks!

Answers to some of your questions:

"how many power outlets are in the car?"
- it varies, see below

"there is the cigarette Lighter"
- that's one

"is there one in the globe box?"
- not by default, but there is a part that converts the glove box flashlight to a "cigarette lighter" style socket if you want

"there is one inside the center console"
- that's another one

"I have seen pictures with power outlets behind the center console facing the rear seat passengers. is that standard or an option?"
- I don't believe this is an available option in the US, but anything is possible since they do make the parts

"lastly, since this car comes with run flats, does the car come with any tools to change a tire?"
- No. It doesn't even reference how to change a tire in the owners manual. I have my own gear for this.

In addition, there is one in the trunk/boot, under the warning triangle..... I have it on my car, and it was part of the Luggage Compartment package if I remember correctly.... However, I have a feeling that this is market-specific and might not be available in all markets.

Not available in Canada at least. Most likely not in the US as well.

Is the glovebox flashlight a standard? I don't think I ever saw it in mine. This is a flashlight that you can unplug to use and plug it back in to charge, right?

Ours and European cars get the extra one on the boot ( Trunk for US members ) with the "Luggage Compartment Package" and the 2 in the centre consol by the passangers with the "Storage Compartment Package"

Its standard here, but I dont know about Indonesia

meruyailir · 04-30-2006, 10:04 PM

I checked and it's about $28 plus $14 for the support. It's the most expensive flashlight I know.

the tool is usually found in the front seat behind a round leather covered item with a roundel in the middle of it

Thanks!

I guess the tools are a cell phone and maybe BMW assist.

That’s odd the US doesn’t get a tool kit. Part of the manual lists instructions on using a tool from the kit to manually close the sunroof if there is a motor/power problem. Lets hope no one in the US (all 3ers get sunroof standard) has a problem with the sunroof being stuck open. Good 'ol BMW... always finding a way to save themselves a couple bucks.

? I have a took kit in my US 330i. It is in the trunk (boot), bottom right side, under a plastic panel. It just does not include tire change tools which would be pointless with RFT's and no spare.

I misunderstood. I thought you were stating no toolkit at all. Instead there is a US toolkit sans tire tools.
