For me, the most interesting part of the video is watching the paddle shift difference between the Stelvio and the X3M
The Stelvio, like the Quattroformaggio, has steering column mounted paddles. I remember when the cars came out, idiots all over the world rejoiced about how wonderful column mounted paddles. Meanwhile, people who actually drive were thinking 'but then how do I shift while turning?'
Well the video proves that indeed, column mounted paddles are for hard parkers and village idiots only. The Stelvio driver has to take his hand off the steering wheel multiple times to shift gears. So stupid.
Fortunately BMW has not succumbed -yet- to doing such stupid things. They put their paddles on the steering wheel where they belong.
