X5 shuts off after start and changing gear to R

When the car is cranked and transmission is moved reverse quickly (before the RPM starts to drop from initial crank) vehicle sometimes shuts off. Message on iDrive pops-up saying transmission is not in park.

Did anyone of you encountered this? Other than waiting one more second to change the gear, any solutions?

Thank you.

Are you putting in gear immediately after a cold start?

Do you idle around 1200 when cold? Some have said that bmw now programs the engine to idle a lot lower on cold start.

My X5 35i has started doing doing this occasionally. Other than waiting for the idle to settle a few seconds after cold start, has anyone else found a solution to this stalling when immediately shifting into reverse? Thanks!

Still the same. Just waiting 3-4 seconds before changing the gear.
