BMW programmed the automatic trans in the 28i cars to start in second gear for a slight bit of gas mileage savings. I really don't think you're saving that much more gas and it can become a Nuisance when ur really trying to get out there in traffic. If you put it in manual mode and put it in 1st gear and gas it you will feel a big differance. Then while still in manual mode put it in second from a stop and you will get that slow drag/hesitation take off you feel in D mode. I know I tried it with my parents 328. At first I was like naw it dosent start off in second when in D mode that little test confirmed it.
