The park process is the simplest I have ever had in a car. It works perfect.

Come to stop, pull parking brake, shut off engine, DONE!

BMW just needs its buyers to pass a simple IQ test before they let anyone buy an M. HAHA

Nailed it here. 2 cents- German ENGINEERS win over lawyers/managers >>> ADDING excessiveness only increases complexity, distracting from usability and function. One you see the engineered solution right under the nose, simply amazing.

So what do people do after a hard track session when they want to let the engine idle to cool down, but also don't want to apply the parking brake with scolding hot rotors? Are people just using wheel chocks?

Yes wheel chocks

I only really worry about having to hand the car over to a valet. Trouble being the one you hand your keys to often won't the the one parking it. Its likely they'll put in in N and forget the parking brake, which can let it roll or leave it in N and use the brake in which case the car still won't lock. Its a minor inconvience for the owner, but risky for anyone who has to move the car and isn't familiar with it.

If you pull the ebrake up and turn the car off, it will go into P. If you turn the car off without pulling the ebrake then it will stay in N. DCT behaves exactly like a manual car.
