Maybe I need to practise more, but I couldn't really get the hang of it, and now I only use M mode when I'm on fast straight roads - I find DS is best for tricky junctions, roundabouts, overtaking etc., and it does a pretty good job.

If you could stop it changing for you I could live with it. The step in my 530d was the same and as you say I ended up dropping or going up by 2 gears because the box tried to do what I wanted.
Please can I have a 335d with SMG
