ACK~~ Sales called back today and said he talked to the mechanics and theres currently no software upgrade available...
So that means I just have to wait... wait till BMW releases one. if ever...

Isn't it possible that something else is wrong with the car? If you're the only SMG car that does this regularly, I'll bet that something other than software is wrong.
Doesn't it make sense that other SMG members here have the same software as you but aren't experiencing the same problems?

Wish I could get in on this thread, but have never been exposed to the possibility of this problem since I always upshift with the paddles. Mr. 'putah handles some of the downshifts when I am doping off.

[/quote]Exactlly! I too used Manual mode MOST of the time untill I reciently tried auto mode and noticed it changed to manual mode itself, from then on just for testing purposes I use auto more than manual just to see... and noticed it happens ALOT!!
I would appreciate it if you guys can try it out on your cars for me. drive a few days in auto mode and see if it changes to manual mode automatically.

[/quote]Ok I found your thread but its pretty old and there was only a few votes I dont want to bump it. Would you mind if I created a new poll asking almost the same questions and also asking people to try auto mode to see if they have the same problem?
