I guess it depends on what you're used to. As a stick driver I think the automatic transmission's electronic "flappy paddle" is not particularly inspiring either, IMHO.
Also, the flappy paddle gets pushed forward to put the car in reverse, and gets pushed rearward to put the car in forward drive mode. I'm still scratching my head over whoever in BMW engineering thought
that was a good idea.
Not sure, but it looks like the new X1 gear shift lever works more like a conventional automatic, with detents for each gear.
