It is my understanding that BMW does not factory-fit fire extinguishers to ANY of its models. They are dealer-fit only.
I understand extinguishers are not a legal requirement in some countries (like Germany). I also understand that it's up to the customer to cough up the cash for that option no matter if it's a legal requirement or not (hey - that's the BMW way after all). =)
- The thing I would like to know is why is this not something that is carried out at the factory?
and
- Since they are usually fitted under the driver's seat, does engineering take this into account when designing the seat or is this just a coincidence? To put it another way - if I don't have my dealer put one in, will I have weird big blank space under the seat??
