Right under the M4's trunk floor insert are shitloads of electronics - it coulda been a disaster (though my understanding is the X5 trunk can take water spills, at least the 45e can)
Yikes! I should remind myself to keep store a towel in the trunk incase of big spills, LOL.

The worse I've done is knock over a coffee mug or half a big gulp of soda in the front. Luckily the floor liners contain the majority of the spills. Since that I try to void hauling gallons of liquids LOL.

Ja, the DeWalt is a bit bulky but lightweight - does a great job vacuuming up stuff - there are cheaper alternatives. But as I mentioned earlier - I got the air pump + 2x 20v batteries kit and bag for $180 and they threw in the vac for pretty much free.
