Do you guys prefer this, or something else...like paddle shifters or switching to Manual mode? Really hope I don’t screw anything up using this!
I came across this M4 video, FF to @10.25, and I wonder if this is available in the x5 (I'm away so can't try it)



Basically he did a kickdown then downshift once. It will switch to the lowest appropriate gear.
