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.
Maybe a little late, but were you able to get this sorted? If not, we can do it remotely.

I lived in Hawaii 2000-2003 and again 2011-2015. Such a beautiful place to take a drive with the Bimmer!
