Code "441 Smoker's package"

[26.2]

Assuming this means ashtray and lighter?? Can it be deleted? If it is deleted, what goes in its place (in the car)?

A little tray which is useful for oddments.

If you delete the smokers package you will not have any cigaret-lighter-outlet where you can withdraw power for your laserwarner. What it is replaced with is a coin holder if I remember correctly, a little box where you can put parking money in.

correct, you have to buy a little plastic coin holder thing that goes in place of the ashtray. I think we've sold it to one guy.

Right on top of it!
I thought I had remembered you telling me that. Wasn't it some crazy price like $400?

I've no idea. I live in Europe where it's a no cost option.

And you still have the power socket in the armrest.

On the E46 M3, smokers package was standard in the US. With the "non-smokers kit" only the ashtray itself (front and rear) were replaced. The cigarette lighter stays. The cost was $20 front and $32 rear in 2002. Bet it's similar on the E92.
It would be great if a non-smoker's setup was standard. I'm sure less than 50% of buyers smoke; why isn't that setup optional instead of standard? I would never let anyone smoke or eat in my car.

Damn - be nice if you could opt out of the ashtray but maintain the 12v source for laser / iPhone etc recharge.

It's not a big problem. You have a 12v source in the armrest and I have on my 335 Coupe added an extension cord under the floormatt so I can connect my Garmin Nav-system.

I'm sure the ipod Y cable would take care of that. Isn't there a usb port in the armrest?

Part of the Technology Package is a new wireless recharge for iPods and cell phones via an infrared window in the iDrive display. This was worked out through a technology agreement between BMW, Apple, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Nokia...

Fantastic - even better - but my wallet won't like the now mandatory ZTP pkg :sad0147:

Yeah, that's going to be a spendy one.

That's not physically possible (- at-least at present)!

Should be practical on a wider basis soon.

"A different contactless system for charging batteries is an infrared charging system employing a light source as a transmitter and a photocell as a receiver. Energy is transferred from the source to the receiving photocell via light rather than through a magnetic field."
