So is there something we can code for that to engage after engine shut down?

Not sure, but check Bimmercode… If not there, don’t think there is an off-the shelf option…
Having said that, M6 DCT (F-series crs) is not really an automatic, but an automated manual. Unless you park in rather steep incline, the pressure on transmission is insignificant, wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve driven manuals (and automated manuals) for 39 years (next week) and never had any issues when applying common sense… Tbh, I don’t quite understand the need to engage parking/hand brake when parking on reasonably level ground. Naturally, what I have written above does not apply when parking on incline/decline - common sense…
