I don't get full HP when down shifting from 4th to 3rd gear.

It seems the car needs to think about how much power to give me for about two seconds.

I forgot about this problem since it has been two months since the European delivery drop off. It drove me crazy in Europe and I still hate it now.

Who has noticed this? Does my 545 have a problem?

Which transmission do you have? What RPM are you at when you downshift? I have not noticed this problem on my car. With the SMG it's easy to downshift two gears i.e from 5 to 3. Just a quick tap on the paddle.
