Just had my 545 auto gearbox reprogrammed (is this different to a new Progman update?) as my downshits, when coming to a halt were not smooth.
So far it seems improved, but I havn't driven more than 50 miles since it was reprogrammed. Downshifts seem to be smoother tho'

it's pretty common. I have the same problem and the only solution is to shift to M2 and not let it automatically go into M1. Not a solution but a work around
