In that situation in would be safe to leave the car like it is. Probably having the gear in P is the most important. Maybe not child proof (putting the car in gear again). But that could also be a problem with normal cars. I don't think it would be a good idea to shift the gear to park when opening the drivers door. Imagine what happens when the door is opened and the car is still moving. And off course that could be programmed too. |

there was a recent video of a lady being dragged under her Range Rover because it rolled as she stepped out. she later died. (i believe it was determined the vehicle's parking gear failed.)

Park is a pin in the transmission that can be sheared off under some adverse conditions. Now, it probably does other things in the logic, but mechanically, park isn't really all that secure.

While people that grew up on manual transmissioned vehicles were fairly religious about using the parking brake, few do that with their automatic transmissioned vehicles...but, IMHO, they should.

I'm usually annoyed by this in the 45e when I'm leaving the house, starting to back out of the driveway and realize I forgot something. Then bam, carplay disconnect, seat position changed, etc etc. And we all know that the software loves to randomly *not* bring everything back to where it was (e.g. randomly changes drive mode from the default, won't keep my HUD height setting, etc etc). |

My complaint with this BMW overreach because they think they're smart and I am dumb so they have to protect me from myself nonsense is that in addition to car shutting down if you walk away with key with passenger in car, BMW also turns on the car alarm!
Thus, passenger then trips the alarm. Very, very annoying. |

Mine turns off when I open the driver door, which is totally annoying.
It however has nothing to do with me walking away with the key. I think you have it set to “lock when walk away”. |

I just tested both ways (opening the door before and after pressing the Start/Stop button): - opening the door before: all electronics stay on, including radio, HUD, instrument cluster and control display. HVAC stops. CarPlay connection with iPhone remains. seat/steering wheel positions stay. my driver profile stays. - opening the door after: all electronics turn off (to be expected because i have the "turn off vehicle when opening door" setting enabled). HVAC stops. steering wheel retracts for egress. seat position stays. CarPlay connection with iPhone remains according to the iPhone's Command Center, but I'm certain it times out and disconnects after some time. while I exited the vehicle and went into the house, it wasn't long enough to disconnect CarPlay, and when I restarted the vehicle, my driver profile was already loaded, and steering wheel position moved to my settings. (my key fob was in my pants front pocket.) |

You don't happen to have two BMW's and have the profiles set to update to the cloud do you? Doing that will cause some of the settings for one vehicle to be applied to the other. Let us know if anything changes.

But I also experience other oddities like the default drive mode not applying when I start the car - that seems to happen when I do a quick stop (like dropping the kids off at school) where the car is off for ~3 minutes. When I get back in, instead of starting in Electric Individual (as it usually does) it will start in Hybrid. Overall we're happy w/ the car and these are minor gripes. The F150L has plenty of issues itself! |

just clarifying that you enabled "start in Electric as standard" when configuring Electric Individual? despite doing this, the random electric to hybrid is a known bug: 45e switching electric individual to hybrid https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1725274 there's a workaround to keep everything on including HVAC which involves running the ICE, so avoid enclosed spaces: - PARK vehicle - place in Hybrid or Adaptive drive mode - with one foot firmly pressing the brake pedal, tap the accelerator pedal with the other foot. this will turn on the ICE - open the door and exit the vehicle if you just want to keep the HVAC running but not necessarily the electronics, you can do so with ending your trip by: - pressing the Start/Stop button - start preconditioning via iDrive screen (must first be enabled in settings) - open the door and exit the vehicle |

Too many times in the morning, I have full HV, taking son to preK. When driving out of garage, figure out need get some something, could it be son's covid test result, homework, lunch .... whatever. I want to keep the car on at park but not ICE on. No reason to have ICE on for 20s just to keep the car on, then continue the journey with EV mode. I just wonder what were BWM designer thinking when they implement this. Did they do what Mavrick does, "don't think, just do" .. L
