Automatic armrest lock on E93

Hi,

I have been reading a couple of threads where it was pointed out that the ipod ecc. stored in the armrest would be easily stolen if left there.
Well I found out that in the e93 convertible, the glove box and the armrest automatically lock when the car is locked, with the top up or dowm, even if the armrest is not normally lockable.
This does not make the compartments completely thief-proof, but makes your belonging a little bit safer, in particular if the car is left with the top open!

Yep, and there's a emergency release to unlock it if the actuator fails, but I'm not telling where it's at
