I am driving a loaner BMW that has some type of Eco mode when you stop at a light. The engine flat shuts off when you have your foot on the brake and sit there for a couple of seconds.

So....I am thinking "Cool! This must be a German 2-step." I was about to swap feet on the brake and mat the gas pedel when a odd moment of common sense overcame me.

I swapped feet and EASED onto the gas pedel. The engine immediately fired back up and lurched a little. Just my luck would have had me squarely in the middle of the intersection spinning from multiple impacts.
