I dont use the manual mode a lot in my 540iA, but when I use it, it seems you have to lift the gas pedal a little bit, or it wont change gear every time. Any comments? In other marques you dont need to do this. I didnt find anything in the owners manual. Still getting used to the 540iA after the M5, but I love the automatic, especially in street starts, you just floor it, whereas, with the M5 you never knew how the launch would go too little/too much reving.
