Glove box light???

[seanodwyer]

My Z does not have a light in the glove box. Is this normal or is it broken? It's a 2005 2.0 se. Thanks, Sean

I had the same question as Sean and I just checked the glove box but don't seem to see any light in there.

Jamie,

can you post a photo of it for me please?cheers.

p.s:I can't even see a light bulb/holder in this photo:

Just had a good look in the glove box and no light holder to be seen anywhere. Looks like some Z's did not have one :-(

I concur

Yeah I think cars for the Republic are specced more in line with the EU rather than UK :thumbsdown:

Mine is actually a UK import.

Ah OK in that case it should have the light. It's listed in the brochure (fifth from bottom) -

Any chance someone could take a pic showing where it is. This is really bugging me. Thanks in advance.

[seanodwyer]

Thanks wondermike. A picture paints a thousand words! I just got a hole where the light should be:-(

:thumbsdown: Maybe you could retrofit, can't decide if the light is 9/10 in this pic or not, LHD car obviously :idunno:

I had a look again but can't see anything,the strange thing is I am sure there used to be a light in there! Anybody else with a 2.5 engine can check this for me?mine is a 2004 car.

Thanks in advance.

Could it be that mine used to have the torch and that is where it goes?

 

[navid.v]

I am sure I read somewhere here that Z4's didn't have the torch in the glove box!

I think my 323Ci was the last BMW with rechargeable torch in the glove box. BMW stopped putting torch years ago.
