What's your least used (or most forgotten) feature
Mine is the voice activated commands. I always forget its there and basically plow through buttons, instead of telling my car what to do for me
I've got to figure out what all I can do with it and use it more |

Definitely voice commands here as well.
Also: Radio stations on Heads Up Display The touch pad ability to write telephone numbers, etc. The open trunk with the wave of your foot option Seat massage (comfort seats) Seat coolers (don't seem to cool the seats down very much) A lot of the navigation options - weather/news/pictures of destinations/etc.

Night vision- it's cool, but I only ever use it to show it off.
I use every other thing listed here except for the extended navigation features.

Selecting songs from my iPod using the steering controls for me. Thought it was cool at first but later found it more distracting because I'm looking down at the small display instead of the LCD screen

Voice Control (haven't used this yet)
Concierges Service (who's really using this feature?) Fog lights (mostly b/c they're halogens and they suck) Any of the center console radio control buttons aside from the main on/off button (steering wheel controls are sufficient) DVD feature (who's watching movies while they're driving?) --- Side note: for those of you who haven't tried using the traffic info feature on the NAVI, try it. I used it last weekend on a trip from Augusta, GA to Charlotte, NC and on the way back the NAVI warned of a traffic jam within the Columbia, SC city limits and the system had me take an exit thru a couple of side streets before we actually hit Columbia traffic on I-20 West bound. 10 minutes later I was re-directed back onto the interstate and I ended up beating my buddy back to Augusta by about 20 minutes. Cool feature.

Never used my fogs. Thought about changing them tho to match my lights? Is it retarded when you see another BMW driving with their fog lights on even tho it's not foggy

Use my fogs once a year at a cottage. Also use Hill Descent Control at same cottage, for a week.
Use Voice Recognition every day.

Agreed, in SOCal it only gets foggy near the ocean. I live inland OC, so I never use the fogs. When I see someone using them it just looks stupid
