I am trying to find a way to have my GPS plugged in all the time. I have read elsewhere that I could adapt the flashlight plug, but I don't think the 3.0i came with a flashlight. I have found a plug in the glove box with two wires (Orange and Purple) running out of the back. The plug itself had a cover on it, and it has three circular holes. The two on the outside have a metal interior, while the one in the middle is just a pin. Can I do anything with this? Does anyone know what it is?

Whether the flashlight/torch is still there...the socket is...and why "adapt" the wiring... BMW used to sell an aux power adapter that plugs-in to the existing socket, which allows you to plug electrical devices into the adapter...it's all plug-n-play.
Although I believe this item is no longer being made...if you search using the 11 digit BMW part nbr...you may find some of the remaining stock being sold...or may even find a used one:
