1. BMW First Aid Kit

The importance of keeping a first aid kit in your car should never be overlooked. Emergencies can happen at any time and usually when you're not prepared so it's best to keep a kit in your car. If you purchased a used BMW and it did not come with one then you should definitely get a replacement kit for on-the-road safety purposes. 

An original BMW first aid kit comes in a compact and portable nylon bag which contains 30 pieces of first aid essentials. This bag is small enough to fit in the glove compartment or in the boot.

It can be purchased from any BMW dealership with a price tag starting from R268.20 (at the time of publishing).

2. BMW Dual USB Charger

Many of us move around with several devices that range from a number of cellphones, to tablets or other USB powered devices. And since BMW's only have one USB port, a dual charger can be really convenient.
