Right, and why make the method of engagement between the two so similar and easy to confuse for one another? They could have programmed it so that another stalk or button to switches between them, for example.

It sure feels like a hoax type of thing which is why I've been do skeptical about this from the get-go.

Since the same phrasing is used in multiple reviews, the information would have to have come from BMW. Some manner of verification would be nice.
Or they all began with the same unreliable source material that seemed official or trustworthy.
They all quoted the official BMW press release AFAIK, as has been discussed in a different thread:

However, interestingly the part about "Smokey Burnout" has been removed from the press release...
