My present F10 does not have the extra outlets just one by the cup holders and one in the rear. As I use Tom Tom and carry an electric cool box in the boot ( trunk) when on holiday I added extra sockets having identifying the parts needed. In the boot there is a recess in the plastic panel by the catch, about an hours work will see a 12V outlet fitted. In the passenger compartment footwell is a 20 or so hole that takes a 12V outlet. An hours work will see a new socket fitted with parts from BMW and a fuse jumper sourced from USA via EBay.
I have recently placed an order for my new car. An option is extra 12V outlets, one in footwell, one in boot and one in the armrest. Cost £30. This is less than the price of parts and saves 2 hours fitting and as much again sourcing parts. One of the best value options on the car. Not sure why I need the footwell outlet now as I have gone for the new Pro Nav on a week 37 build for UK.
