So who knew there is a charging port in the trunk?

URBAN LEGEND · 01-21-2014, 06:50 PM

Yeah. Note to myself to disable that next time I am carrying a prisoner, I mean enemy combatant, in the trunk.

Code it out.

avlnch · 01-21-2014, 07:32 PM

Yep there was one in E60 M5 also.

Not sure why though. I wonder what it's there for.

URBAN LEGEND · 01-21-2014, 08:14 PM

Air compressor?

I was looking under there couple of months ago and thinking how ghetto that bare metal looked in the trunk and then I saw the outlet. I haven't used it and don't think I will ever need to.

JOHNBMWM5 · 01-22-2014, 02:31 AM

Any pictures of just where it is?.

N.S.A · 01-22-2014, 03:20 AM

saw it after 3 weeks of having the car, its kind of hidden. I found out by jumping the trunk for fun

ice7 · 01-22-2014, 03:34 AM

Saw it when I was installing the exhaustmeister. Not sure what I would use it for.

04S · 01-22-2014, 04:11 AM

It is perfect for the sir compressor as has been pointed out.

I use it for inflating the pool toys regularly.

Apart from that, useless.

mwlmd · 01-22-2014, 06:02 AM

I have seen it used at the track with the M mobility kit compressor. That must be the design intention.

boots · 01-22-2014, 06:38 AM

Damn the charging port. Are you out driving that car?

ghueser · 01-22-2014, 07:32 AM

There is also one underneath the passenger footwell.

It's to the right of the latch where the trunk meets the car. It's close to the strap that pulls the air pump compartment cover. Get it?

You should get it leather wrapped or frozen painted!
Winter project.

I just stopped shoving my head where it doesnt belong....

RPiM5 · 01-22-2014, 11:45 AM

Yup the E60 M5 had one there too. It is in fact there for use of the ///M mobility kit.

Also in case most people didn't know this either, but there is another power outlet in the footwell of the passenger side front seat. It's there on the E60 and the F10.
