Hi,

While trying to install a wifi antenna for my m240i to activate apple car play, the screw extractor dropped in there while i was removing the unit to plug the wifi antenna, should i be worried? tried looking and feeling around there but to no success.

Where could it have been gone. Im even scared of driving the car so i dont mess something up right now.

Thanks

It dropped to the deepest recess possible due to gravity! You should be fine, unless it found its way into a fan & blocks the blades from turning.
