E46 Owners? A bit of help please.

What does your rechargeable torch look like? Is it black or white? Is the back of it i.e. where it slots into the car, male or female? What does it look like? Can you see two male pins?
Background:
I want to use a BMW adaptor to convert the torch socket into a auxillary power source. See:

Trouble is they make these for two flashlight types, white and black, also if I look at the socket in my car it looks like a the flashlight (torch) probably has a shroud around two male pins, it almost seems like a male. Does that make sense?
BMW don't sell these in the UK so I'll have to have it sent over from the states.
Many thanks in advance.

No bloody torch in my M5. i had one in the CSl and the previous M3. I have the socket, so I should have nicked The Dude's!
You don't get them anymore........
You don't get the crome tailpipe finishers either on 6cyl E46 anymore either, they have to be ordered and paid for via parts, don't know why

the crome tail pipes were never fitted on the production line in Munich, they were upto about a year ago - fitted at Thorne - now they are fitted at the dealer. its partly to do with parts targets, partly to do with the recharge costs to sales from Thorne for supplying and fitting the extensions, as the cost comes out of the sale of the car, which created internal invoicing issues.

the torch is rubbish in any case.
My '94 E36 torch was used for the first time on 21/12 last year
I know the date 'cause we went to an 'equinox' drinks party.
We had to park in a field, and I was:
a) surprised that I remembered the torch,;
b) surprised that it was still there;
c)Gobsmacked by the fact that it worked!

Strange really - I've only just realised that it wasn't the equinox was it? We must be nearing the spring equinox now.
Still you're the man who'd know!

I beg to differ Zod. I actually found the intended use for mine today...........Being able to see the wires under the seat after adjusting the seat angle when re fitting (CSL).The wife likes it now she can see over the steering wheel.......bu66er!
