This was the main issue with our only ZF 8 AT BMW to date, that it upshifted way to early, often two gears to high at city speeds making the car on the border to stutter. It was easy to get around though by driving it in S mode. Our Cayenne with the Asin/Toyota AT has none of that, it’s perfect in normal mode. I’m more curious than concerned to see if BMW allow an M car to behave like that in any mode, especially when the low rpm TQ is non existent... Not really concerned since I’m confident there will be a mode to avoid it but I am curious. This car will be shared between my wife and I much more than the F80 so it will see a lot of auto mode time.
