I thought ES and S mode are only engaged in DS mode and nothing else. E and EE are for D mode.

Yeah and it's still normal. My new '07 550i has the same problem - dealer says nothing wrong. I guess mine must be a female - works best when it's driven hard.
My 07 550i seems to be doing the same thing, but it's only slightly jerky on cold mornings. The car is garaged and temperature inside the garage is around 60ish degrees while the outside is more near 40ish degrees. When I pull out I just feather the throttle out my neighborhood and by the time I get onto the highway (2-3mins max) it shifts just fine.
One thing you guys can try is let your car warm up for a min or two, that's all it should take, unless you're parked outside in the freezing cold then you can bump it up to 5 mins or so, but either way I think it's almost normal for cold trannys to "jerk", even all my past manual cars shift hard on cold mornings, the oil isn't just slick enough.

My steptronic shifts a little jerky when it's cold, especially in low gears. After the car is completely warmed up, it shifts much smoother (almost un-noticeable). I have CIP 20.01
Is this normal?

Cold is below -25 C and then the transmission is a bit stiff after starting...
As the suspension etc...

No, you don't know that cold is!

It's all relative. I had lived in Canada for 6+ years. I know what -25 C is.
