You pass by reverse on the way to drive on a lot of BMW automatic shift knobs. Drive is on the bottom, but before that is neutral, then reverse, then park. To go from park to drive you have to pass reverse.

I have not had the problem that the other user complained about, of the reverse camera and sensors coming on when changing gears. Perhaps they shift much slower than the manufacturer anticipated, or they aren't depressing the button on the knob.

> on a lot of BMW automatic shift knobs

Isn’t that only with a couple of weird models built on the Mini UKL platform (and not even all of those)? Hardly what I’d call “a lot”.

Pretty sure literally all other models use a button for park.
