Anyone else ever notice this before? Mine had disguistingly soaked change underneath. But its nice knowing I can hind stuff like a spare key etc in there.
Before nice and normal besides the mess need to clean up inside.


Secret compartment with treasure.

Got to clean this now.
Mad props vance580, First thing I am doing when I get home is to check that out, hopefully the previous owner put a 3lb pulley that he forgot to install in there, heheheh

I was trying to find a video of it. If you look up Top Gear Season 16 I believe episode 4, Ill confirm later. They did a convertible challenge and all ended up with old 3 series BMWs. One of the challenges was taking it to a lab and seeing what they could find in each car from the previous owners. Hammonds had blood and feces residue in his and they beat up on him the whole rest of the show about it. I think if we had that challenge jag79 might lose. LOL

Heres part 1 you should be able to see the rest as the other parts should be in the suggested videos on the side. The forensics lab starts at around 6:50 on this one. LOL.
YouTube - Top Gear Season 16 Episode 4 [Part 1]

I discovered this in the first week I had my car. All I found was some soda stains underneath. But I always wanted to hide some cool switches in there, ya know, to activate the mini guns and whatnot.

Jag79 definitely should have his car go through that Top Gear inspection. I'd be afraid to see what happens with a blacklight in his car...

I'm uploading that top gear episode to my server right now, I'll send a link to anyone who wants it. (it's a 720p rip)

Better you find them than your wife

When I picked my 2007 up last year, I was checking the spare tire & found about $40.00 ins coins underneath it. I can only assume the previous owner used then to quiet the tire ?? - but I removed the $$ & there is no noise from the spare.

That being said, I had no clue that the armrest slid forward until about a week after buying the car and messing with removing the console binnacle to install an AUX input.
yea the sliding armrest came as a surprise here also
