Still the the torque converter locking and unlocking I really don't like much.
I think it's done to preserve the transmission under prolonged stops versus having the car push itself while the brakes are holding it back. Not sure which stress is worse overall. It's likely also emission related since you're not "wasting gas" on pushing the car forward when the car is clearly stopped.

I just think BMW didn't thoroughly test this when designing the car. I don't know if they'll fix it though. Nissan had a similarly dangerous issue called ice brake that caused many accidents and it was NEVER fixed. It was on the 370z.
