The gear selector still has the D/S written- so it would be the last slot- as it is currently.

Unless its adjustable ride height.
The diagrams in between the up/down switches seem to be big blob, medium blob and small blob.
Correct that the Rocker Switch on top of the selector is for the Transmission Drivelogic mode. The "gate" is as present on recent and current M vehicles.

The buttons to the left are for Driving Dynamics. Auto Start Stop is on the dash. The Steering "adjustment" is for resistance not heating.

Its no more awkward than if it was on top. It's still a thumb button and only needs to be used if the driver is exiting the vehicle under certain conditions and intends to use additional operating functions.
