Just a question that came to mind when reading this. I know you're talking about having the vehicle in automatic mode, but I wonder how many people ever shift manually with the paddle shifters. I don't yet have a feel for the M340i since I haven't taken delivery of it yet and had a rather limited test drive but I'm so used to manually shifting my automatic transmission vehicles, albeit they have primarily been DCT as opposed to the ZF8 in the Bimmer.
It's strange but I'm so used to manually shifting all the time it's actually strange for me to drive in full Auto mode. I think the reason for that is I've driven cars that are either too aggressive in Sport mode or just too tame in Drive or Comfort mode. This is exclusive to my experience with Audi. The ONLY time I rarely manually shifted was with my 2014 B8.5 S4 sedan which had a brilliantly set transmission and throttle mapping, at least it was for me.
Sorry if this is a bit OT.
