Strange, I have got almost the same car (just not white and with nav) but on my car the flappy paddles work different: push forward to change up, pull to change down: there is no difference between left and right!

But I agree with the rest of the post. The autobox is much better than on my previous E61 525d: I can use the auto (in sport mode) even on alpine roads. This was not possible on the E61. It is also much smoother!
