This is kinda standard for all newer BMW's... my 2011 550i, 2013 M5, 2014 M5, and 2014 X1 all operate the same.
That's how my 2011 550i is, too, but I always set the parking brake and leave the (manual) transmission in first gear. My M5 will be my first car ever without a clutch pedal, and the whole idea of "Park" is new to me.
