How to feel stupid....
Drop off M for service. Get behind the wheel of 5 series loaner. Adjust seat, mirrors, find radio station. Put foot on brake, move shifter to the left and up. Wonder why you're not going backwards.... Priceless.
Carry on |

This happened to me 2 years ago - took me 5 min to figure out how to back out of my parking spot.

Thanks guys. I'd rather it this way, in a loaner at the dealership. As opposed to when I first got the M. I was in a parking lot on day 2 trying to get out of a tight spot and wasn't able to shift back a forth from reverse to drive quick enough, got caught in neutral with people looking and waiting as the engine roared and I went no where.

I'd be so confused if I got an M for a day. I would have no clue how to reverse the car!

I got a 7 series with the M package and gesture control when I had the CF console put on. Wait until you experience that! Accidentally started turning up the volume and had no idea what was going on.

Now that would be a problem for me. I have a vowel at the end of my name so I can't talk without using my hands. And yes, yelling at the idiots on the road counts as talking. I can't imagine what kind of things my hands would control.
