Quick question regarding signal/indicator lever?

Thanks, all.

I recently took delivery of my M2C, having come from an M235i.

Quick question. In the M2C, the signal lever is the "old style", where I nudge up or down to do the 3-flash lane-change indication, but to signal a left or right turn, I noticed that the lever stays in the full up/down position, until cancelled by the rotating steering wheel. Is that the same as everyone else's? In my M235i (and in virtually all recent BMW cars I haven driven as of the last few years), when you do a full signal, for turning left/right, once I have activated the turn signal, the lever returns to the neutral, or level, position??

Seemed like a minor step backwards, to me? First world problems, I know...

Thanks for your help, all.

Yup to many people complained about the old style being confusing...somehow...
So they made it just like any other German car.

So are all of the M2C signal levers the "old style", where they stick to the full up/down position?
That would be a minor inconvenience, albeit an unfortunate one.

They stay up or down for full engagement until you execute the turn or push them back to the middle.

All M2C has the same style turn signals. Many people prefers this over the "return to middle" style that older BMWs had. Personally I don't mind either way.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Very true - it certainly does boil down to personal preference.

I am just used to all the previous BMWs that we have had in the recent past, so this felt like a step backwards, to me.

Cheers
