Folks, the car in Sport+ in manual mode, if I rev it past 6K the then hit the paddle, the car will go off boost and the transmission will slowly shift thereafter. This only happens 1st to 2nd in manual mode. In auto mode, I noticed it shifting around 6.5K 1st to 2nd and other gears it goes to 7K and it does it very fast thought-out the range in auto mode. I have the sport auto. Does this sound normal?

IIRC, I believe manual mode does shift slower than when in auto mode. With my car, in manual mode if I shift from 1st to 2nd going wot, the car jumps to 3rd gear every single time. It drives me insane and I believe that there is no fix for it yet.

This has been happening to me and its been driving me nuts as well. Does BMW usually come up with a fix?

Yeah, mine is the same rate for all shifts at WOT (At least it appears to me as such) with the exception of 1st to 2nd between 6K (Maybe as low as 5.8K) to 7K the car goes off boost then it shift very slowly compared to the other shifts. If I manage to hit the paddle just prior to 6K, it is as fast as if left in auto.

Anyone experiencing this?

my car launch first and second gear shifts just fast without any issues or slow shifts.
fyi: im running jb4 iso_4.

*Using Manual +DSC off or sport+. doesn't bother with shifting
** my car is built 3/2013


tried DSC off ? you might be slipping our traction system is so sensitive.

Does your car go from 1st to 3rd, or you shift from 1st to 2nd and then it shifts soon after into 3rd?

At WOT in manual mode if i shift into 2nd the car will auto-shift to 3rd around 5500RPM..

The car shifts from 1st to 2nd at wot but then immediately goes to 3rd. It won't even reach 5500rpm as you mentioned. Looks like there's a fix so I'll be contacting my dealer soon
