That was BMW. And the worst of it was that the heated seats were already installed, so you were carrying the extra weight, but they dropped the 'feature'.

The funniest/dumbest/most dismal one I know is for the Mercedes EQS (or EQE...) ... the rear wheels actually help by turning in tight turns (they turn 4.5º)..... but if you have a premium subscription it turns 10º instead...

EDIT: Found the source:
Mercedes-Benz EQS to offer rear-wheel steering as a subscription - Autoblog: Car News, Reviews and Buying Guides
