ok depends where you live as to what kit you get but;
you can get;
the flash light
fire extinguisher
warning triangle (in the boot/trunk)
spare bulbs
first aid kit
tool kit
and probably some i've missed off. you really only get these because in many European countries (germany included) you must carry most of the above

That flashlight is only used for short emergencies. I tried to change a license plate frame. Started getting really weak before I was done putting back the screws. That's not a long time. I'd keep a small LED flashlight in the glovebox just in case.
And teh flashlight and toolkit are the only things I have in there. No first aid kit (space to add one in tho), no warning triangle (I know this is a euro thing), def no fire extinguisher (and I hope to never need one), no spare bulbs (altho this would be nice).

You're all too funny. The BMW glovebox flashlight has been around since E12 in the early 70s. It has since been known as one of the identifiers of the brand. I thought it was just SOP that you got a new BMW delivered and you just opened the box as if to say, "yup, still there, like always". Mom, apple pie, baseball, and the flashlight in your bmw...
Your emergency kit should be in the trunk, and one other fun thing that's new since regulations now require them is the emergency glow-in-the-dark trunk pull that opens the trunk from the inside. That way you can lock anyone you'd like in the trunk and rest easy knowing they can get out...... whoopee.

No emergency kit for me. And I like the E class' emergency trunk pull better. It's a button, not just a lever like in the BMW. It's got a clear plastic surround that has a light to light it up on top of the glow in the dark plastic material of the button. Gives you more of a chance of finding it just in case you have to wait the carjackers out or something.
