Gleb,

OK, let's say your method would work. How much more expensive would it make
the car? Probably enough so that we (the customers) would complain about the
increase in price. It's a double-edged sword for BMW. They chose not to
include such a feature to keep the cost of the car down, and trust the
driver to drive properly (again, their mistake, right?).
