can someone explain to me why they do this?
Drove a z3 the other day with this type shifter.
Why do they insist on doing it like this instead of having reverse under 5th?

because it's better that way

then again 'better' is relative, because it's a manual, and designed for poor people

who ever cared about the poor?

most of the transmissions that have the reverese on the left top or bottom have other versions with 6 gears.

Less chance of accidentally engaging reverse because it's farther from the other gates.

But it won't actually engage in reverse though. Or at least, that's what I thought.

I agree OP, it's retarded. I used to have a 5 speed with reverse under 5th, now I have a 6 speed with reverse next to first, and I'm always worried I'll put it into reverse by mistake at some point.

I'd like to add that my mother has one like in OP's, but it's not so bad because you have to lift a button under the gear knob (not sure what you'd call it) in order to get it into reverse, it's the push-down/no safety features at all ones that worry me.

it's done that way so people like dead who can't into m/t don't pop it into reverse instead of 4th.
