Any way to change the transmission nanny so it doesn't engage P?

While there's much I love about the X5 4.8i, I absolutely LOATHE the electronic gear selector. I hate it hate it HATE it.

I have third row seats, and would love to get rid of the run-flats.

I asked about it last week when I took it in for service, and they told me "it's lifetime fluid". Yeah, so's the oil in my engine, the coolant, and the brake fluid, right?

Spending $73k to pimp out a heavy car with a base model engine that's worth maybe $35-40k is the road-going corollary to a fat man in a little jacket. It just is.

It has 46k on it now, and the warranty expires on 12/30/10.
