BMW have designed the steering wheel adjustment with a feature that is a fundamental flaw and safety issue.They claim ‘ to ease entering and exiting the vehicle, the steering wheel moves to the upper position – this is true and good. HOWEVER, THE DO NOT MENTION THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO RETRACTS INTO THE DASHBOARD TRAPPING THE DRIVERS LEGS UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL – THIS WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE (POSSIBLY FATAL) FOR THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. This feature cannot be over-ridden and is activated as soon as the driver’s door opens. I have contacted BMW Board of Directors and Senior Management and they refuse to change this feature. The retraction makes NO sense and benefits no-one and nothing. It is a design fault and dangerous. A simple two line code adjustment in their IDrive 8.5 Operating system would prevent the retraction and fix this issue. This could be down-loaded to vehicles in one of their next remote software upgrades. IGNORING SAFETY ISSUES PROVIDED BY THEIR CUSTOMERS IS NOT AN OPTION.
