Downshift Question/Problem
I think I’m going a bit crazy (thanks for settling some nerves)…feels like the car is no longer downshifting automatically on D1 or any D for that matter.
Scenario, hit 45-60, and let off gas. The car is ‘no longer’ downshifting automatically as I slow down, it’ll stay in whatever gear I was at doing 50 (for example 6th-7) until about 1k RPM then go through the gears back down to 1. At which point I’m either at a stop or just about. I do not recall this… It‘s almost like I hit the pedal’s (but infinitely). I do have a service appointment scheduled just in case, recently got an oil change. Maybe I’ve been ignoring this behavior all along, doesn’t feel normal. Sounds and feels like I’m on manual mode and don’t know when to properly shift.

Thanks Blooze, I wasn’t sure you know…one of those things you don’t pay attention too anymore. I also noticed it’s shifting to higher gears at slower speeds. I was cruising around town and at 34mph it was asking for 7th gear. I really hope it’s software related.
Got my appointment tomorrow. |

I wish that was the issue Seaford so I could laugh at myself. Here now, will update when I know.
Update: Tech diagnosed no codes, he’s saying car is functioning normally. Going to submit his findings to see if bmw can advise on any known issues etc etc. More to come.

I’m stuck on 7 or even 8 at 30mph (coming from 50) like the car is waiting for me to either hit the brake or hit the gas, as I come to about 1.5 to 1k rpm, then and only then will it start to downshift or If i hit the brakes. Hitting the gas and the gear indicator changes to something it believes it should be at the current speed. Granted i’m in the M8 i don’t think this is normal. It doesn’t feel normal, it’s been 9 months of driving and I don’t remember experiencing this.

D3 will wind down the gears or should unless ... you do a very very slow coast down and then would not aggressively shift down.
