Hello everyone, I sat in an G01 30 today and the shifter is not comfortably aligned with my arm on the arm rest, is it me or did you guys experience the same feel?

I didn't notice any problem, though everything feels a little different when you get in any new car. I found the arm rest support very comfortable and I usually lean on it quite a bit (as the wear on my previous cars shows!!). But I found both the shifter and the controller very nicely positioned.

Ergonomically it seems almost identical to our 2015 LCI X3 35i, BeeMdblU. Given your question I went ahead and did the measurements this morning and they would basically support such it seems, give or take 1/2" here or there. I'll repost the photo I attached in the main M40i delivered thread for completeness here as well.

yes seriously thank you for the initiative, the numbers you posted my explain my feeling about it, I'm 5'7" so 1/2 an inch would make a difference for me but not a deal breaker.
