When I brought my car in for a 7500 mile oil change I was asking a lot of questions about the car the service manager couldn't answer. But he said there was a tech working there who had a 1-series that was pretty tricked-out.

So I talked to the tech (who said he posts here occasionally) and one of the questions I asked him was about idling the car before turning it off.

He said he drives his like he stole it and doesn't let it idle and said its unnecessary due to the electric water pump and synthetic oil.

I generally don't drive mine like I stole it but I take it easy the last couple miles before I'm going to be turning it off.
