If a lot of people feel that way then the gear shift is something that BMW can easily claim to "fix" when it's time for the F48 LCI.

Regarding size, you could be right, though I'm reserving judgment until I actually sit in the car and try it out. I'm 6'3" and I doubt the shifter will feel particularly hefty in my meat hooks.

FWIW, I like the way Jaguar does their electronic shifters way better than the flappy paddle.
