LOL! Yeah would be a little extreme but whatever's clever...

Actually one of the times I did this I decided I might as well try a couple reverse 180's LOT'S of fun once you get it down!! After doing a few, I realized that HAS to be the reason why BMW puts reverse up next to 1st - as you whip the front end around and tap the brakes, it's extremely easy to pop it into neutral and then into a forward gear (compared to standard manual setup).
