bmw's one way only logic is u don't shift while ur turning. go figure!
I use sport mode most of the time in fast turns, & paddle shift down in auto for gear braking often so transmission shifts back to Drive automatically after without further intervention.
Paddles should definitely be like f1 cars, mounted on the steering column, not following the wheel.
