Granted that technology sometimes outsmarts itself, case in point highlighted by this particular aspect. However, for me the benefits of this amazing 8 speed auto far outweigh that single shortcoming.
The F10's reversing camera largely overcomes the issue of not being able to lean out of the door, but as I have discovered with the F12, 'surround view' takes it to another level entirely.
PS: re your post, how do you 'bump' an auto box?
