Excerpt from the letter I received from BMW -" BMW has become aware of a potential problem regarding the automatic transmission park logic of your vehicle. If the driver were to leave the vehicle with the engine running in drive postion "D" or "R" selected, the automatic transmission would automatically shift into park position "P". This function is intended to limit vehicle movement in such a situation. In the case of your vehicle, the response time of this function needs to be shortened ... there is a possibility that the vehicle could move forward or backward a few feet until the parking lock is engaged.
We need to install new and improved software on your vehicle so that the response time of this function will be shorter if the situation described above were to arise. Please contact your authorized BMW center...."

Hope this help!
