is it purple?

if so it means your car is cold, nipples tend to do that in the cold

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

That's a light sensor for the climate control, or a blanking plate if you've not got auto air-con

If you press that button with the EXACTLY the right amount of pressure your car doors will open and the rotate to form wings.

Then if you put your foot down your car will lift off and you can fly anywhere you want.



P.S. - Before trying the above make sure that you fill up with petrol - its a major bummer if you run out mid-air

Keep rubbing it until your MINI says it's enough or shows erratic moves and sounds
