Steptronic manual mode question

New member here - bought my 08 135i about a week ago after driving an E46 M3 for several years. Love the car so far.

I've noticed when in manual shift mode the car will downshift to 2nd gear at a full stop. Any reason it doesn't go all the way to 1st? Do most of you downshifts to 1st before taking off or just leave it in 2nd? I'm not talking about a hard launch, just normal everyday driving.
