Here you go. Somehow the pics make it look more of an intrusion than it seems to be in reality. I guess it does extend more than I remembered without looking. But in reality it does need to extended out enough for the driver to lean over and remove it from his/her seat. I've had the F11 version and have it in my X1 too. Having had cause to use one in an emergency (luckily not me) I wouldn't be without one in any of my cars, and not just in the boot, right at hand in the passenger compartment.

I'm surprised BMW doesn't make it a factory option like Mercedes do. My E class was a nice install and it was in the driver seat base which I prefer. But I guess it does mean if not properly secured it might fly out and interfere with the peddles

Hope the pic are useful, please ignore the dirty matts
Thank you. I agree, this should actually be standard in all new vehicles sold worldwide and people should learn how to properly use them. I've witnessed people trapped in a burning vehicle and no one had a extinguisher to control the fire and nothing to break the windows to help the passengers out.
Unfortunately, they died....
