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.
