I see
. Perhaps others could clarify what's being meant by notchy shifts?
I understood it to be the movement of the gearstick because my 2006 Z4, my 2007 E92 and my 2010 E82 all felt a bit notchy when changing from 1st to 2nd - in fact the gearchanges all felt very tight until the car had done at least 5k miles. I've kept my E82 longer than any of those cars though and after 15k miles the box started to feel really silky smooth including when changing between 1st and 2nd, but that was because I ran it in carefully with slow gentle gear changes until I didn't feel that fast changes were forcing anything.
