You actually CAN engage the clutch in most cars at idle so long as you do it smoothly. But this isn't the best for the longevity of your clutch.
Are you new to driving manuals or just soliciting feedback specific to the new car?

No I've been driving sticks since my first car at 17. Just seemed somewhat a dramatic departure from my M3 6 speed manual. Very smooth.
