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.

I had an F30 with Sport AT and now a G20 and am happy to report that the transmission programming is now great in Sport mode with gear selector in D. It's similar to Porsche PDK in Sport mode. With the F30 I was changing back and forth between D and manual all the time because D kept the revs too low and S too high.
