You guys should try the manual mode. You can shift it like a manual by clicking into the next gear just before letting off the gas for a second.
It works great if you practice and get the timing right.

My Ride: DMS 535d. Titanium Silver on Black leather. M- Sport Package.
Always on DS mode 
. On the smaller engines the car is a lot more responsive and the engine much more punchy

With SMG, letting off allows an imperceptible shift. Maybe same thing with Steptonic?

It's DS most of the time! Singapore is a small island country with beautiful roads, though they can be a little short. And if one wants to drive rather enthusiastically, DS is the mode to let the other car know who is ruling that road for that moment
