I was wondering the best approach to accelerate off the line to 60 MPH in a 128i automatic- with sport package and paddle shifters.

Just punch it off the line in conventional automatic mode? Or use the manual shifting option on the shifter, shifting up near red line, or use the paddle shifters, shifting near red line?

The car does not have a sport mode button option.

I am taking it easy on it since it's still in break in period right now although I am wondering once it breaks in the best approach to maximize acceleration. This is my first automatic car ever- and it also has paddle shifters and manual mode shifting options- which I have never used before. All of my cars up to this point have been manuals- and I have owned a lot of different cars! I wanted to try something different this time and went with the automatic!
