Steering wheel offset

Ever since it's been pointed out to me, the fact that the steering wheel isn't directly centerly in front of me...is pissing me off.

Sorry if I ruined this for anyone else, but why are they offset? If you google this you'll see it's very prevalent for MB cars.

WHY?! Sigh.

To meet crash test standards, is my best guess.

I had an 2001 Nissan Altima, and it was very noticable the steering wheel was left of center of the gauges.

The BMW 2 series.... the drivers seat is slight angled towards the left. So if you're sitting in the driver seat, you're looking towards the left headlight.

The Guilia isn't available in the manual for the US. Motor Trend thinks because the clutch pedal lobbed off the crash test dummy's leg.

Wow this whole time I thought it was just aligned wrong due to driving it.
