Do you at least have the "Warning Triangle" in the trunk? or the First Aid Kit..... We don't get these in the US.

Thanks 'ghuser', do you know where I can find the instructions - are they in iDrive?
It would good to have the procedure committed to memory in the event of having to push the car out of harm's way following a breakdown.
We do get the first aid kit and warning triangle in the UK, but that's only because it's predicated by EU legislation - not out of the goodness of BMW's heart!
