Flat bedding is all well and good but if the car breaks down on the road law enforcement will usually want the car pushed to the side to free up traffic. Perhaps the electric parking brake will partially protect the transmission, perhaps not. In my mind designing a transmission which can't be easily put into neutral without power is poor engineering. And this is not a BMW specific issue since I believe this is a problem with all cars equipped with a ZF 8-speed transmission.
