This car is a drag....

Just curious how many of you with 2011/2012 X6s notice how much the car drags when slowing. Almost like you have downshifted.

Now I'm pretty sure that it is the brake energy regeneration and I'm also sure that I tend to get somewhat used to it after a while, but each and every time I come out of a different car, I notice it in the X6.

Basically, once it kicks in (after initial press of the brake), I really don't even have to keep pressing on the brake, the car just slows to a stop.

Anyone else?

Yeah, i get this as well
It almost feels like stick shift decelerating while in gear
The part i dont like about it is that it keeps downshifting while dragging, so it's not even uniform drag, it's a kind of jerking one

Yea I feel it especially when coming to a full stop in the city. I get a noticable jerk when the car shifts from 2nd to 1st automatically

Wow, I thought this only occurred with the 8 speed auto - alas both of you report almost the exact same thing!
