I definitely like the paddle shifters. If I can 't have a manual tranny, this makes it fun still.

I drive a sDrive 20d with the eight speed automatic and mine also does the same thing. Even if I'm driving in normal auto it often pulls away from stop in second if I don't come to a complete standstill.
