4 stupid questions:

  1. Is there a stop watch on the 09' M3? If so, can you set it up such that it starts when the car stops moving?
  2. There is a small black tap which seems to be movable in my trunk. It attaches not to the trunk lid but the top of the trunk's main interior. It is slghtly offset to the left. What is it?
  3. I've lost the velcro inserts to secure my summer floor mats, does bmw dealer sell them? How much are they?
  4. I got an iPhone and want to get the center console dock. My nearest dealer is 3hrs away. Can I install it myself or is it a dealer installed accessory?

I know what you are talking about with #2, but I also have no clue what it does.

When you open the trunk underfloor access to the storage area, the tab holds the floor open (raised position) so you can have both hands free while you access the storage area.

Recommend a phone call the dealer.

I beleive this is a factory installed option only. I don't beleive the USB can be added by the dealer or aftermarket.

1) As alpineweissM3 said, there is a stopwatch in iDrive, but no, it is not automatic. See you manual index under, strangely enough, "Stopwatch".
2) I believe what youa are referring is to hold the trunk floor panel in the up position.
3) Not sure how you could lose those, but I believe they only come with the mats (not positive)
4) Installation is straightforward, I believe.
