[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 435602, member: 3592"] IMO this is a purely mechanical issue, as there's no electronic override for the torque converter when your selector is in D and your foot is on the brake. It's simply one mechanical force acting against the other. No harm will be done if you stay in D, but IMO wear and tear will be accelerated. I shift to N at traffic lights...the creep in a 325i is pretty strong. Similarly I do slow down for speed humps and badly ridged sections of roads to save wear and tear on the suspension. Maybe my driver doesn't, because I've just changed one cracked suspension arm and related joints and bearings in the Merc. Cost...RM5,400. Premium car parts are not cheap. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
