I just found a rechargeable flashlight plugged into a socket in my glove box. I’ve had this car for what, five months now? The only way to discover it would have been to start feeling the upper edge of the box or to put my head on the seat.

Plot twist; it actually activates the turn signals. People don’t use them in BMWs because they just don’t know where they are.

Why was your head on the seat?

BMWs (except the 1 series) have had these since time immemorial. Very handy too.

Oh, maybe mine will (it’s a 2000, maybe its something they put in their cars at the time, idk), I’ll report back in a bit.

One of the best parts of an E39. Be glad yours isn't missing!!

I wonder why they quit doing that. Nice to have, but I suppose if a modern BMW breaks down it won’t do you much good.

I consider this to be one of the best parts:

I was so happy when I saw mine was still in there. Needs something to work though..

I started a thread on car surprises a couple of years ago when I picked up my 03 CL55. Even after reading the manual, I still kept discovering new things more than a year later.

One of my favorite hidden features is that the passenger mirror tilts down when you put it in reverse so you can see the curb. I’m sure it’s a common feature now, but this is in a car designed in 1995.

Mine only has 5 forward gears! Imagine! The shame!

I love that feature. I turned mine off by mistake once and it drove me nuts trying to turn it back on. I finally figured out that when the mirror adjuster on the door is set to the driver’s side, the mirror won’t tilt. But if it’s set to the passenger side then it will based on the computer settings. German cars have been ahead of the curve for a long time.

At least the flashlight is hidden, after more than a year of ownership my mom recently discovered that the plastic square above rhe radio will open if you push it...
