I have a 2011 e89 z4 and just found a 12v outlet near the fire wall on the passenger side I wish I had found it in my manual
a while ago.
 
The outlet is located under glove box toward the fire wall on the left side we have other bmw with the same thing

Just been for a look and there's nothing there. I think it must be for U.S. Market.
I think it would have been a useful additition for me.
 
There's a hole for 12v socket.
I fitted and wired across to the fuse box so I could have 12v power with the ignition off.
Also did the same in the boot to run a electric pump.
 
My z was made in Germany but maybe you are right. The 12v outlet looks different than a normal outlet you have in a dash.
 
That's fitted as part of the extended storage pack... I found that out a few days ago when I found a hole & no power socket for my dash cam... now got an ugly cable running across the centre console & my ash tray has to be permanently open :cry:
 
If it is the same as the X5, you can piggy back at the back of the console to the wires that go to the cigarette lighter and fit it there.
