That is crazy! I enjoy stuff like that!

One of the things I read about, was how apparently. BMW always had horrible radio reception. (Or something along those lines.) Apparently they just LOVE designing electrical equipment that tied into something else, to get several jobs done, rather than dedicated lines per item. For the sake of being hi-tech. Same with using some over engineered parts, that often failed. If I remember correctly, one was an aluminum engine bolts (?) Due to inflixibility, was the part that failed, where the steel bolts had flex. Thus the stronger link, in ways, became the weakest.
