My Ride: 530i 6 speed
I upshift manually, but usually let the car downshift.
Sometimes, when I manually downshift, the car downshifts the same second I do it, so I go down 2 gears instead of one....

I always want to be in the lower gear earlier in case I choose to accelerate again.? I don't want the car to labor if I ask it to accelerate without being in the proper gear.

When I tested the SMG, one of the coolest thing I noticed about it, was the rev-match it does when you downshift, especially when you use it to aid in hard stops, I thought it made the car sound like a race car, pretty cool. If I had SMG I would downshift myself all the time, I even find myself doing it with the AUTO from time to time
