I hate to admit this, but the same thing happened to me. I came from a I6 Steptronic 530i, and while I enjoyed using the step on occasions, the auto seemed fine for me. When I got the 550i I was somewhat disappointed in the auto. Initially I was a little scared (I'm a girl - I have an excuse ) to try the sport and paddles, and then I read Rudy's review of the SAT. WOWZA!!!!! What a difference...... the car is now a blast to drive and I very rarely drive in D unless I'm stuck in a lot of traffic, which is not very often here in small town NC.

Hmmm... I just step on the clutch, put it in 1st and then go on my way!
