cheapest thing!

the little twisty thing on the side of my 2012 E63 dash that is used to adjust brightness, is it just my car or does it feel like its going to fall off and all flimsy in all your cars

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
When I got the car last year, I also thought that part is a little flimsy. They could have it similar to this button in my 20 years old Nissan where pressing the top increases the brightness and vice versa. Or at least make it more robust.
