Was at BMW showroom today and noticed all new body style BMW convertibles had this in the rear console. No one at the dealership knew what it was, any one here have a clue?

 

I am sure whatever it is, its prob cosmetic.

 

I put my money on a BMW version of Mercedes' air-scarf

 

Its not new... you will see it on the e46 M3. I had that too. it is to help with Defogging of the cabs rear window... faces a funny way, but if you look closely, they are somewhat faced up. I will try to find interior pix of my M3 and post... I wish it was an airscarf.... well, maybe not me but my rear passengers!
