The entertainment system ‘wheels’ seems to be different on Audis and BMWs in terms of clockwise up/down. I always get it wrong. My old man had an Audi a decade ago so I kinda got used to that way. We both have BMWs and my friends bar Audis now and I still seem to get it it wrong first time more often than not.

We should have an EU Standard for these things

Not wanting to show my age here, but it always used to annoy me* that the window winder handles on the company Ford Sierra worked the "wrong" way - or at least the opposite way to all the other cars I'd driven at the time. ked with!(* Just stopped myself from writing "winds me up" )

Had the pleasure of driving the other halfs car a bit at the weekend, and noticed this on the steering wheel controls.
So, normally I'd say that it's:
Volume UP
Volume DOWN
NEXT track
PREVIOUS track
But, BMW in their infinite wisdom have arranged the MFSW buttons the other way around, so you get:
Volume NEXT
Volume PREVIOUS
UP track
DOWN track
To add; it's actually the DOWN arrow to go to the next song, where I'd assume it'd be the UP.
Who the bloody hell signed off on this!?
And I thought it was bad when they switched all the controls from the left side of the wheel (e46, e39) to the right side (F10).So, normally I'd say that it's:
Volume UP
Volume DOWN
NEXT track
PREVIOUS track
But, BMW in their infinite wisdom have arranged the MFSW buttons the other way around, so you get:

Having recently bought a mini this drives me mad. Turn volume up, track restarts... So, normally I'd say that it's:

Annoyingly, there are no more detailed diagrams than this one, so I can't see if it'd be possible from a bracket/fixing point of view.
