I should be specific. By problem was not an ignored shift. 3 times when I attempted to downshift from 3->2 it went into 6th or 7th instead.

Out of curiousity where were you in the rev range when you tried 3 -> 2?

I wonder if this is BMW trying to protect the drivetrain? (see the BMW USA disaster in the M5 6MT and no DSC off initially)
