Opasha, you are very welcome.
It was the first thing that I noticed when I got the car. What a PITA to access stuff that I put in the compartment. BMW tries to upsell something that caused inconvenience to us. I know that in some models it didn't bother as much as the one in the F15.
As for the bit size, they could've changed it from some production period. Regardless, it is the same location and thread size. Maybe they try to saves a couple pennies just because the suppliers have an overstock on the T30's.
