    Hi Folks,

    Is there a permanent live in the boot space (or nearby) of the E87 (BMW 1-Series 2007)? I'm aware of the battery being there but I'd really prefer not to make a tap there, it's unsightly and I'd like to avoid if possible.

    They only other options I can think of is perhaps the rear light clusters or if there is a loom for a trailer hitch?

    Thanks!

    What do you need it for and where in the boot will you place whatever you're going to feed?

    There is a boot light you probably can tap into.

    Needs to be permanent, there is a cig lighter in the rear but it's switched on the ignition. Best suggestion so far, from the 1 Series forums, is the blue nut here:

    Yeah. Keep it simple. If it's a tracker or something it will be obvious though.

    Bingo. Hence the need to find something discrete :(
