How is manual and 7AT tranny?

Radio? Our cars have radios?

(Mine's long gone).

Related to the hand-position stuff though, I do wish someone would release a simple wiring harness to switch the Up/Down direction on the 7AT's shifter, it's backwards from how it should be. Someone linked an upcoming Mine's product, but no release yet AFAIK and probably $500 for a short piece of wire knowing Mine's.

Also some simple mechanical lockout to help keep it over in the M-mode slot (it's really easy to accidentally push the stick back over to neutral when pushing in the forward direction).

LIAR!!! Lol, if you drive a sequential gearboxed car, yeah, I guess you're right, BUY a BMW

But I think logically the way it is now feels more correct for most people...
When I get into my BMW I want to kill someone... It feels assbackwards every time

That's what I mean, it should be laid out the way a sequential is. There's sound logic behind it. When you're braking and downshifting, your body/arm is being pushed forward naturally, and when you're accelerating and upshifting, the opposite. So having foward be downshift and back be upshift keeps the shifter movement in sync with the natural forces on your body.

I think for daily driving for normal people the way its set up feels more correct... BUT if the gear shifter was like it is on a real sequential with the big all shifter, then fuuck yeah I want it reversed, lol
