Mine does that too, it only drops to M2 when stopped completly. I was going to mention it to dealer, but I convinced myself that the car had leart my driving style, so knew I didn't? make quick getaways and didn't need to drop to M1. I dont know if it is that clever but have read that the steptronic does learn your driving style. I'll keep an eye on this post & may report it to the dealer if it looks like a fault!

The 'learning' mode doesn't apply to the M mode...? It never drops to M1 unless you tell it too.

After watching my wife play the steptronic a few weeks ago, I decided to play around with it and actual enjoy using it.? But I noticed today, that when you are stopped, it only auto shifts down to M2, second gear.? I have to take it to M1, first, which it seems the car doesn't like.? As soon as I go to M1 and accelerate the slightess, it immediately jumps to M2.? Its as if M1 is not to be used.
If anyone else is using the steptronic, does your go down to only 2nd?? Or do I need to make a date with the service center?? Thanks.
