According RoSPA, better to leave in D.

http://www.rospa.com/roadsafety/adviceandinformation/driving/automatic-gearboxes.aspx

"When stationary in traffic, even for many minutes, it is not necessary to move the gear lever into neutral because the torque converter absorbs the engine’s propulsion force but does not transmit it all to the gearbox. No wear is taking place. In fact, more wear will take place if you engage neutral then engage a drive gear when it is possible to move off. Most gearboxes will automatically select first gear when the vehicle becomes stationary."

Thanks for the info and comments bro..

I did read about this diff info too which encourage to shift the gear to N as for sharing : http://www.topgear.com.ph/features/columns/motor-mouth-online/should-you-really-shift-to-neutral-when-stuck-in-traffic

Logically should be N position, but do find it a bit of hassle to step on brake and back to D, do notice rpm at N is slightly lower then D, hope sifu out there can give some commends..

[ronaldindin]

I will be move to N if I've to wait for more than 2 minutes. no harm done to our car if the gear remain in D isn't it?

...going up and down the gears will cause more damage eventually...just imaginee up and down up and down the wear and tear will be greater..logically speaking.

...going up and down the gears will cause more damage eventually...just imaginee up and down up and down the wear and tear will be greater..logically speaking.

Very logical but also very logical that keeping on D with foot on brake is allowing a risk of a mishap one day. But then again, knowing its a BMW, better dun shift up n down so much la, nanti masuk workshop lagi ...
