Valet "key" for the F10
Can someone please enlighten me if the F10 has a Valet function that one can lock the boot securely prior to allowing the hotel valet to park your car?
In my previous ride (E60 - preLCI), the plastic key is used as a valet key where one can lock some valuables in the boot safely with the main key and hand over the car to a hotel valet using the plastic key which cannot be used to open the boot. I was told the F01 and F02 has such a function where one can lock the boot from the centre console and just hand over the key fob minus the actual key - this way, the valet cannot have access to the boot.

Just lock the trunk via the glove compartment & then lock the glove with the key in the fob. Then just leave the fob.

Hi ghueser, do you have this switch in your centre console?
Bmrmeup, I don't see a switch within the glove compartment that I could use the key within the fob to lock either - am I missing something?

I don't think Asian F10s (which are closer to Euro specs) have the switch as well.....

Really, I thought we have and have not checked. Too bad for us.

It's not in mine either. Am wondering if it can be retro-fitted? Will enquire with the dealer on my next visit.
