Does the new 2025 X3 come with front and rear cigarette lighter 12V sockets?

I think someone mentioned there is a 12v supply under the front armrest in an M50.

By rear do you mean boot/trunk or back seat area ?

There is one in the center console below the armrest and another one in the trunk on the rh side.

Great, thanks for confirming. I have lots of gadgets and kit that I have which uses 12V, so reassuring to know, although I would have preferred it near the front for ease of wiring.
What is the point in having it in armrest console? Poor design if it is, how you supposed to get wiring from their to the dashboard?
