[QUOTE=PNWM3;30158836]Got a new X5 as a rental car the other day and it has the same gear selector. It’s fine and takes no effort to get used to. Even in a high performance car, with paddles why would you ever use a stick in the middle while driving? It’s actually nice as it frees up space and removes a superfluous item from the cabin.
When you’re pushing the car while turning, the paddle shifters become useless as your arms cross and force you to become ‘disconnected’ from the paddles; using the stick to manually up/downshift is much easier. The paddles are simply too small for any spirited driving. That’s what I’ve come to discover over the years. The stick will be SORELY missed by many I’d assume.
