Small compartment to left of steering wheel uses
After a month or so I noticed a small door to the left of the wheel. Too small for owners manual, what do you guys use it for? Does not look deep enough for a carry of any real size (been to lazy to check, but will eventually try.)

It is just listed on the BMW USA website under Comfort and convenience standard features "Storage compartment package (storage compartment under light switch, nets on driver and front passenger seatbacks and additional storage configurability in trunk)"

I keep a cloth to wipe down the dashboard (for long traffic lights) and a padded cloth zipper case to keep my change quietly in.

Everything you need for an evening out...
Same here. Looks like adding the DA feature deletes this storage compartment. |
