BMW have had the same reverse detent system for at least 20 years. One assumption is that the driver knows what they are doing when they select a given gear. Much the same philosophy that European manufacturers have for other operational aspects of the car, for example in Europe there is no clutch pedal interlock with the starter - there is an assumption that you will check that you are not in gear before starting the car.
