Safety feature support Car-jacking and high-jacking

No one disputes the fact that BMW manufactures great cars. However, the unintended consequence of a specific safety feature makes it an easy target for ********* to ***** the car. The safety feature I am referring to applies to automatic vehicles. When a door is not fully closed, the gearbox will not engage in gear. Thus, in an emergency, the driver cannot drive off. Also, when a door is opened after the vehicle started to pull away, the gearbox will immediately reset to Neutral mode, the car would not engage in any gear and will stop. Therefore, to ***** an automatic BMW, all the ******** needs to do is to open a door at the time the car is started or starting to pull off. The driver will be a sitting duck and the car can be easily taken. This feature should be disabled! An alarm can indicate that door is open, and the driver can correct it at his convenience. Lots of features are not always a benefit. This feature is dangerous for South Africa and other high-crime countries and should be disabled.
