One less power socket under dash

I noticed that the power socket under the dashboard (above the front passenger footwell) is no longer there on the G30...

This was very useful as it was discrete and could be used as a permanent source of power for say Dashcams.... a pity I think

It was added on my F10 since I ordered extra power ports..

I did the same with G30, but all that did was add boot power socket, and two for the rear passengers (and possibly the one in the compartment between the front seats...

That's annoying I have on my f11 too and was expecting that as part of the extra 12v package
Surprised BMW don't put usb's in most places instead of the round 12v sockets, next gen I guess
