secret interior storage!

M2LA · 06-22-2017, 11:28 PM

or at least secret to me. guess i am more into driving than looking because I totally missed this. freaked out today because my cell was missing after lunch only to discover it laid flat against the right side of the driver door front storage tray, well or whatever you call it. my god my heart rate did not come down for an hour. anyway I took a peek around and found a little hidden storage area deep enough for the cards and cash that I normally keep in the glove box. eagle scout and i don't valet just to get that out of the way. as you can see its quite deep, folded up some black ankle socks, tossed my package in the middle and reveled in a nice disappearing trick. sorry if I am the only joker that did not come across this + if anyone else has clever storage tricks or tips let them fly. love this car

If you like that I challenge you to find all 4 of the 12v 'lighter' sockets. I'll give you a clue, 1 is in the trunk

The number of sockets the 2 series has is based on region.

Not judging, but do you regularly keep your credit cards and cash in a zip lock?

Hey, if it works for ya, do it.

Amex Platinum? Come on man, where's the Black Card?

eau_rouge · 06-23-2017, 08:44 AM

I use this storage for my (cheaper) sunshades that come with a cover like the Ray-Bans. The aviator e.g. fits in nicely!

ha-ha right...I stuck a pair of black calvins in the other one as a backup

Fits the free $50 umbrella I requested for during delivery. It's the nicest small umbrella I ever seen but haven't gotten chance to use it yet.

It's Vegas buddy. You won't be needing it.

I'm more disappointed that you haven't requested the metal version of the Platinum yet.

I have the CSR but prefer my Platinum. Centurion lounges are the best things going domestically.

JustChris · 06-25-2017, 07:43 AM

Where the secret storage, is it in the door?? Isn't that just the 3rd or the 3 door pockets or am I missing a nifty secret stowage place?

agree but I fly mostly international + I am totally in the chase camp, freedom, unlimited, csr so I have the trifecta and the ink. I use amex once in a while to just top off point, biz blue + for 20k, green for 25k, etc. the biz blue + is actually a decent card, good placeholder for mr's, 2x up to $50k. amex is nowhere near as good to deal with vs chase imo. the plat is just a spare card, might get the metal sometime but its mostly off my radar

on both doors, pocket closest to the handle. sort of an indentation. its not life changing but it is something

'Q · 06-25-2017, 08:45 AM

I hate the whole storage door area, anything you put there shakes. BMW didn't even bother to put some rubber liners inside.
