What is this under the seats?

bmr_lvr · 09-20-2007, 09:11 PM

I dropped a bracelet between the driver's seat and the center console and saw this under the seat. . . what is it? . . I didn't find the bracelet. . . could it be in there?

ska///235i · 09-20-2007, 09:12 PM

^liar

It's actually a rat hole.

jetblk328i · 09-20-2007, 09:16 PM

its for the air conditioning and heating vent....or could be a hidden vacuum that makes the car air tight

HyperM3 · 09-20-2007, 09:17 PM

Does anyone ever stop and try to use logic?

KL2DC · 09-20-2007, 09:18 PM

cold air intake ...

j/k, its an HVAC vent....check to see if the said bracelet has slipped into the vents, it will be a source of rattling in the miles to come...

bmr_lvr · 09-20-2007, 09:24 PM

I stuck my hand in there but didn't find it. . . does anybody how the vent can be removed?

ska///235i · 09-20-2007, 09:26 PM

lol.....1st you ask what they are, now you want them removed

It's alot of work....do you hear rattles in the vents?
I'll double check between the seat and the center console before removing anything

///M3NACE · 09-20-2007, 09:27 PM

ska///235i · 09-20-2007, 09:34 PM

Park your car at a steep hill and turn the air in full force.....your bracelet might come out....lol

urnuts · 09-20-2007, 09:36 PM

tape it tight or you'll have one more item in there

rwwong · 09-20-2007, 09:48 PM

Check out this thread it explains it all, I had the exact same thing happen to me, only I fished the coins out with a chopstick and tape! Lucky for me, I read this thread before going to the dealer like the OP.

Good Luck.

bmr_lvr · 09-20-2007, 10:05 PM

Thanks to all for their helpful information

. . . and funny responses

. . . Being the pessimist that I am, I expected the worst. . . but I moved the seat all the way forward, checked again, and finally saw the bracelet only by looking from the passenger's side. . . it was wedged between the console and the seat rails. . . I almost missed it again

It's the den for that black snake that ate your bracelet.
