It is the same as using the paddles to drop a gar or two. To me, it seems to be on par with comparing a DCT vs. MT. The vehicle will always be more precise and know itself better than a human. It’ll achieve smoother gear changes, etc. For kickdown, it selects the most optimum gear to achieve the greatest acceleration on demand. I don’t know how it compares to using Sport or Sport Plus, but for Adaptive and Comfort it’s great. The thing I like is you just punch it down real quick and accelerate (you can let off the pedal a bit for accelerating), pass or merge, and go right back to driving down the road all comfy.
Again, it’s just another option. It seems like BMW has two or three ways to perform functions in their vehicle. Give it a try, see if you notice a difference! I’ve read that manual multiple times, and for some reason didn’t think twice about that feature. Now if I could just figure out how to change the responsiveness on the high beam sensitivity...
