I have a auto 08 550i, I usually drive in D mode but when I want full performance I shift into manual mode but it always start off in 2nd gear "M2", I have to manually shift into 1st gear "M1". Is there anyway I can change so it will go into 1st gear whenever I'm in manual mode from stop???

Sure, if you want the car to start from 1st, all you have to do is pop the shifter into D/S...so basically pop it into manual mode, but don't move the shifter up or down...
