New to the Hawaii forum...any CODERS in here?

Howzit,

I'm new to the Hawaii section, but not to BMW. Used to have a 335i, M3, 328i and now in an 06 330i. This one is a little different from the rest in the sense that BMW hadn't seemed to get their "soft stop" and "neutral idle control" sorted out yet. Basically, it's impossible to inch the car forward because the brakes will hold, almost as if on/off (due to soft stop). Also the car noticeably shifts into neutral at stoplights to save on gas (due to neutral idle control).

I'd love to disable both features but I don't have an old computer or coding cable. Can anyone on island do this? It's driving me insane and everyone who rides with me thinks I don't know how to use the brakes, lol.
