The most useless feature of any car owned

[Pondrew]

Following on from the red & white lights in the E89 thread, I thought it may be fun to see what is the most useless feature, or option, or item in any car you've owned?

I'm going for the DAB TV tuner in my 4 series. £820 option to get TV on an 8" screen which only displays when stationary. I may be missing something here, but I thought the whole point of a car was for it to move for the vast majority of the time you are inside it.

A steering wheel on a Capri!
Direction of travel was only ever controlled by interaction between the throttle and the rear axle!

The duck pond on the back of the Z4MC...never saw a single duck in there

Going by the last few months here in the Highlands...

Door or wing mirrors on motor homes and camper vans.

Speedometers on hire cars that go past 35mph...

The "sun visors" on an MGF or TF!

Lane Departure Control, try driving with that on when on small country roads where it is fighting you for the steering wheel.

The sport button on a Z4M. Complete waste of space. :roll:

You can get gloves, hat and sun cream in there easy.

Door storage bins on the G29, completely pointless

I used the one in the 35iS to hold and charge an iPod the G29 has wireless charging so I use it too

i used to, in the Z4MC back in 2008, along with the required BMW phone cradle for a Sony Ericsson K800, then iPhone 3.

Had to swap to a 12v adapter once the iPhones became too big to fit in the centre console.

Lane departure warning on any Bmw because they only ever drive in the fast lane
