If you never drive in full auto mode, you're not going to see the lag problem that many of us are describing. You could still have a 'bad' one and just not know it.

I like to have the option if I need it, plus it sounds awesome when shifting with the exhaust setup I have. Sometimes I drive in auto mode. Long distance road trips and heavy traffic on the highway. The lag when stopping at a stop sign and then immediately accelerating again is normal and should happen that way so you don't burn the clutches out and/or spin the tires since we reach max torque at about 1200 rpm. It happens in both auto and manual mode. Yes, it is annoying, but I can understand why BMW engineers built it into the software.
Just curious, do you all have the new DME update? I didn't get it yet. Take it in for an oil change on Monday.
