Where do YOU put the owners manual? E90.
I recently picked up an E90 335i, and there is a TON to learn about all of the little features the car has. What I haven't seen is a place to put the massive owners/ other manuals. Does it just jam into the glovebox, or is there some other pocket somewhere? It seems like with all the thought that went into everything, there would be a little manual pocket hidden somewhere. Coming from a GTI, I'm curious about this. That VW had a little sleeve in the glovebox that the manual would slip into. It made sense. I might be looking into this a little too hard, but I'm a bit nuts.
Thanks guys!

The thing weighs so much I just keep it in my desk and leave it out of the car.

Yup, I checked it out and it works. it appears to fit right above the little tool kit. The extra weight back there will help me when it snows
thanks!

I read a few things in the manual but basically when they handed it to me at the dealership I just wanted to drive my car. The lady sat around trying to explain everything and I was like, I can figure it all out, I swear, just give me my keys.BRAND NEW IN BOX 991.2 standard/non-pse SPW cat bypass pipe for sale - $899 shipped

I have mine in the backseat behind the middle arm rest in the net. It fits well and frankly the back seats are worthless in the vert anyway.

Mine didn't come w/one. I had to either figure things out on my own or turn to the forums/google. When I finally found the .pdf version, I printed out only the pages w/light descriptions and keep a copy in my glovebox.
I previously owned an Audi and swore it didn't come w/a manual either, until one day the car got stolen and, when I got it back (later that day) the thieves had found the manual before I did! They stuffed it back in its place but left it hanging out - a slot under the steering wheel. Ended up being the perfect place to store my .45 while driving.

I had mine lying around for a long while. But then I put it somewhere where I can not find it any more
Had to go for my first service 2 months ago, could not find it anywhere.
So no service history...There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works
