Depends on your mods.
The right thing to do is throw the car on the dyno, look where your engine's curve lies and base shift points off of that. Short answer: Paddles on the 6AT are slow. If you want to go fast in a straight line, put the shifter in DS and let it do the work.

I was under the impression that granted if you have the alpina flash paddles are the way to go in a straight line. Letting the car shift its self shifts too high past the power band of stock turbos. Not sure if any new light was shined on this or not?

Likely with aggressive tuning you'll want to shift around 6200ish
