I had the door open to check the distance to the edge of my driveway and all of a sudden the car lurched to a stop. Apparently, if you have your door open and you try to reverse the car, it'll engage "Park". You can't reverse the car with the door open.
Is this feature only in the '08 cars?

I have an '08 535. What is this "park" you speak of?

There's always the other side of that argument, "How can a luxury sport-sedan like this NOT have a simple safety feature like that"

I wonder what will happen on my car, since I don't have "P"... I'm going to try it later and see.

Funny that you would write about this now, because just today I did it twice without any problems.
Last winter and spring when I tried it, it engaged to "Park" at once!
Can my car have been reprogrammed without being even close to a BMW dealer???
