Hi guys,
Had an extended test drive today in an m135i

Couple of q's about the auto box.
1. Dealers no nothing about launch or sailing, they thought I was pulling their leg (uk?)

2. Can you pick up revs to pull away? I got into a right muddle at the lights when I selected N increased the revs then shifted to D. The box just didn't compute what I was trying to do.

3. Must you always keep your foot on the brake when stationary, or is it ok the leave the car in D pull the hand brake and lift the foot brake?

Stupid questions but I've never driven an auto box,
Cheers guys!
