“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. …”
