Power Outlets
I should have checked this out when I test drove, but do the F30s have any additional power outlets other than the one inside the armrest?
Is there another up near the cupholders? |

There are four, not counting the USB port. One in the "ashtray", one below the glove box, one in the console in the back seat and one in the trunk.

There is not a cap for it like the other sockets. I had an extra cap I put in it...makes it easier for me to find it by touch.

Seems you need 493 Extended Storage to get the others (in the UK at least). |

That's a bit disappointing to say the least. Shipping a "Hi Tech" car in this day and age, with one power outlet is ridiculous. I have had my 5 series for nearly 5 years - it's a basic SE model and it has at least 3 power outlets (that I can immediately think of).

The availability of power sockets is depending on the accessoiries you ordered. In NL for instance you pay € 11 for the socket below the glove box...
