Owners Manual

tatetrain · 01-01-2017, 08:10 PM

Curious where everyone stores their owner's manual. I just picked up my 50i and the manual pretty much fills the glove box. Wondering if there is a better place to store....

I put mine in the trunk where the spare goes.

Mine is in the trunk. On the right side in that pocket area.

Mine is either in glove box or pocket on passenger side, still wrapped in plastic.

It's on the iDrive. I also download it from the BMWNA website (pdf) and keep it on my iPhone. No reason to keep the physical manual in the car, in my opinion.

Mine is in the back of the glove box, it's held up against the wall with the elastic band.

Leaves plenty of room for other stuff.

If it's a leased car the dealer is going to want those back when you turn in the lease. If I put them anywhere other than the car they will be thrown away during one of our massive spring cleanup events.

Plenty of reasons to keep the manual in the car. Plus phones can and do run out of battery.

I also keep mine in the rear trunk cubby hole to the right.

Install the Driver's Guide App in the Apple Store, and download it there!

There's an elastic strap in the rear cargo area on the left sidewall. Holds the Owners Manuals perfectly!
