> BMW had those annoying turn signal stalks that would always be in the neutral position even if you had the turn signal on. I'm not sure if anyone liked them. I know at least a couple of BMW owners who didn't know how you were supposed to cancel the signal without being explicitly told about it by someone.
Own a BMW with those stalks. Don't mind them actually. There's an adjustment period. I figured it out quickly enough but I will say some people could get confused. I don't like the loud click/adjustment of the stalk moving while I'm finishing a turn. This only became more apparent when I started driving rental cars after owning the BMW. The BMW method does solve that. (All movement of the stalk occurs when you're touching the stalk - never on its own. A good reason for its design I'd say)
That said - the F1 style steering wheel here - while exciting to look at... and very racecar... Is uh, very likely to be wildly impractical for a road car with a typical steering rack/ratio.
