That is the way a good S&S should work.
Excuse me? When in first gear with the clutch and break pressed, normally you're about to accelerate and drive, or you stopped just for a second when manovering at low speed, so you certainly want to make sure the engine's on.

No thanks, I have a lot of complaints about the bmw S/S system but still seems much more intuitive than the one you describe. Besides, stopping with the clutch instead of the neutral gear is a good way to make the car know you DON'T want it to stop the engine.

All in all, as already said, the whole system seems to me hardly useful.
