Found this while taking out my CD changer today. Thought maybe e-brake indicator switch. but it works. Anyone got any idea what it is?

usually there's either a little storage thing there, or an "ET call home" button

Huh, I have the oddments cup there.

ZStig · 01-02-2012, 06:21 PM

yeah, the little storage thing

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing Eject Seat or self-destruct button.

That's where the BMW Assist buttons go.

Pat, I believe that switch is for your rear center console door. That switch toggles the lights in the rear center console to turn on and off.

My Z4 is in storage, otherwise I'd take a picture for you to show you where it goes....but when you open the door to the rear center console, you will easily see where the switch is suppose to go....the door has a little 'finger' on it which toggles the switch on/off.
