I previously had a 330e and I could thread that car though all manner of situations with confidence. My 530e is the largest car I've ever owned and after six months of ownership so far I still feel like I'm going to run into everything in the parking lot. Maybe I just like smaller cars....

Second, occasionally when at a stop while in (D) Drive or after shifting to (D) Drive, the car will start to roll backward while moving my foot from brake to accelerator. I don't think I ever experienced this in my 330e. Anyone else have this experience? Time for a dealer visit?
I agree that a smaller car is easier to maneuver. It is a tradeoff.

Mine does not do what you describe. The 530e does not have stop and go so as soon as my foot comes off the brake, the car starts to creep forward. I have not had the rolling backward issue. I do think it is time for a call to your dealer.
