Having recently purchased a 128i with Steptronic, I'm a bit frustrated with the shift points. (Yeah I know - should have gotten a manual.) D shift point settings are really low, so car cruises at 1500 rpm or less - seems sluggish. Put it in DS and it runs to the redline unless you are really light on the gas. My prior car was a Honda Accord V6 with auto, and the shift points were perfect for spirited driving. For the 128, it's either Sleepytime or Drag Strip time. Wish the shift points were adjustable - but now I'm using M mode and shifting myself. Starts off in M2 and works fine.
