Inside BMW cockpit

Does anybody know what that white sqaure is about?

Also the mini plane on top of the gas cap? Any ideas?
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

It's a track map of the Hockenheimring.

Some sort of data-port for diagnostics perhaps?
[EDIT]
Correction, mounting point for the horns :).

I agree with Saribro. Track map, and horn mounting point.

Its a strange place for the track map though. Its often used as a reference for the driver, I guess he would only need to look at it after he crashes out or something though.

Saribro is right. As Tomba will put more picturse in the gallery, I'll ask him to put online the one I took of the Toro Rosso cockpit as they have the track map pasted on the steering wheel. You can see it more clearly there than on the BMW car :wink:
