What's up with the shift knob gear pattern? Is first gear really down and to the left? I know that some of the Porsche 914s and 928s did that, but I've never seen it in a BMW. It seems like it would be much slower going from 1st to 2nd than if 2nd was straight down from first.

Racing purpose. Keeps 1st out of the way while racing. Helps prevent mis-shifts.
Also has a closer gear ratio in the tranny between gears.Below the radar...

i like the suede seats. you get the best of both worlds, the durability of leather and the stickiness of cloth.
