Anyway, I'm surprise you can use anything but your hands to defeat any of Auto Assistance because BMW's unit uses body heat for a tactile feedback. I figure one's knees wouldn't make the cut :
This is the beauty of the knee technique, it is not a defeat or bypass of the system, because it takes voluntary muscle contraction to hold your knee against the wheel -- it's arguably better proof that you're still awake than resting a hand on the wheel.

I suppose it's possible there is a "limb defeat" technique there somewhere, like maybe someone with leprechaun-sized legs could somehow wedge their leg up under the wheel just right, but my knees sit too high for that to be possible.
