Slow shifting with paddles can be reprogrammed?

We currently drive a 2015 X1 28ix with JB. However, after I had a 2016 328 rental for the past few days, I realized just how slow my X1 shifts with the paddles. As a heads up, I'm comparing the 328 in sport+ and DS while using the paddles to my X1 in DS.

Is there something I can ask the dealership to do to get the 8spd in my car to shift like the 328 I drove?

After having a 428i GC as a loaner I was thinking the same thing! Also wondering if it's possible to code in or program a sport mode - I wonder why BMW left this out of the n20 X1.

I've been looking for any coding or mapping for our ZF8 transmission but I'm not aware of anything... If anyone hears different I want to know though!

This would be a welcome integration to the N20 X1. A programmable sport mode to adjust the shifting parameters.

Doing a bit more research into this and came up with a few ideas. First of all, it looks like all 2016 328's come wi the "Sport-Automatic Transmission" as standard. On previous 2's and 3's, this was a ~$500 option or standard on MSport or Sport packages. This leads me to believe in the potential of either dealer coding or someone like Alpine doing the coding to unlock this feature.

Any ideas off of my findings?
