What's the last thing you discovered or found out about your supra?

I found out the trunk has a giant magnet that attracts BMW tailgaters really close to you! (the magnet releases when you press the accelerator)

Really? I must have got a dud car then. Mine seems to be on the right side of the car, not the rear. Just about every time I pass someone, it comes into my lane.

Idk if it’s in the manual, if so I missed it. But I love the auto hold feature our other cars have, first world problems I know. But if you come to a stop and turn on the cruise ( with active cruise at least) it will hold you there. Pulling the ebrake will do the same, pressing the gas will get you going but is pretty harsh.

1) Yes, I didn’t read the manual.
2) There is a child seat anchor behind the passenger seat, that you can probably use to hang some flat organizer

I learned a lot from this thread. Fun info.
Also, I'm going out to the car, right now, to try some of these.

One thing I've discovered: My days of tossing on magnetic number plates for track days are over. Silly, plastic cars. Now I have to stick the vinyl directly on which I'm not a fan of if I decide to drive the car around town LOL

I found out over the weekend that once you program the buttons below the display, if you rest your finger on them, it pops up on the screen what you programmed them to. That way if you are like me and forget what you programmed them to, you just slide your finger across them until you find what you were looking for and click the button to display it.

Seems like half of the things posted here are typical BMW things for years. I came to the Supra from a M4 so I didn't realize these things were 'hidden'. Plenty of cool little options on these cars.

I found out that you can manually shift in Auto mode at any given moment and it stays in manual mode for about 5 seconds.

Works well when the car keeps going to 8th gear below 40mph. A couple clicks and back down to the right gear.

Who reads the stupid fucking handbook any way…

This is my first bmw. Parents had a few but I think the newest was a 2010 and I rarely drove it. Pretty cool it's got all these hidden features. I have lots to learn.

So I just discovered that these turn signal lights do actually work. They only work if the car is off and you put your hazards on.

Found out when I was cleaning the interior and I accidentally pressed it lol
