This past Saturday I picked up our new M5. WOW! It is indescribeable. I am experiencing one problem though - my wife prefers an automatic and when in the SMG "D" drive mode the engine bogs down shifting between 2nd/3rd and 3/4th. I understand that a slight lifting of the foot from the accelerator aids the shift but it is still an uncharacteristic BMW compromise that does not solve the problem. Confused Any suggestions out there?

The M5 SMG is problematic unless driving agressively, and there is no apparent fix. We'll have a 6 speed manual M5 later this year.

The bog may lessen as the engine breaks in.
