Though with these fancy new 8spd autos, what do I know, maybe if they design this "feature" they also design the parking pawl to handle it.

Wow. How in the world did BMW overlook that insane item?
How fast was the car going when it did this?
Who opened the door and why?
Did it feel like the car was auto braking, and then when stopped it put itself in park? Or did it really just slam into Park?
Is the trans still working along with the parking pawl?
