2014 Radio Volume Knob

Anyone notice how the '14 7 Series radio volume knob has a power symbol that turns in circles in the direction of the knob?

I'd find it annoying if I had a ’14, as the center of the knob with the symbol should stay stationary; sloppy.

GREAT IDEA! Thanks!

Otherwise, very sloppy on BMW's part and not sure why it was added in the first place; even upright, it looks tacky.

And such that the knob also controls navigation volume, the graphic is actually improper, as pressing same does not mute navigation.

The "Auto" labels don't turn with the HVAC control knobs...
