It took me all of the past 7,000 miles to get used to my auto shift steptronic as well as the manual setting. NOW, I use the manual more and more. Sometimes, when in auto, the engine actually cuts-off, or stalls (it seems) when reving up to gain speed. So, since I have a heavy foot, I started using the manual. The sound (purr) is unlike no other car!

I gave up my manual cars for this. I don't mind it, but I think I will trade-up next year for a 540 and get back into really "driving" this awsome machine!
