Tire pressure guage is under rear seat (drivers side) where it folds down.
Hope you all have a good Thanksgiving!

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.
my E30 doesn't and it doesn't have the slot either. i think your getting confused with the tool kit that has always been there in every single model without fail.

Nope, no confusion here. I had an E30 too, a 325 ix. It had the flashlight. Maybe there was one year where they didn't?? ...... Hadn't heard of it though.

My '87 E30 has the slot/plug for the glove box flashlight, but the light is missing.

a lot of people don't have it...they take it out before it gets shipped to some states or something apparently and i don't have cup holders in the back either, neither did my brothers car (330ci)

i didnt get the cupholders either, but its because i have the stupid ski bag thing in the cold weather package. i live in Cali, and i dont think that my car can even fit snow tires or chains, so its kinda odd to have a ski bag imo.
