I'm new with the E70, having driven an E53 for several years.

I think the E70 has a feature that puts the car into "Park" when you are stopped at a light or at a stop sign. It seems like when I start to accelerate from a stop like this, the transition to accelerator happens with a "thunk" or rough shift point. It doesn't happe every time, but it probably happens 25-30% of the time.

Is this normal?

Also - why do you have to pull the door handle twice when exiting from the drivers seat?
