I have the 08-E90-6MT also and this is my only complaint against the 08s. I am particularly unhappy about the 1-2 shift and complained vigorously to 3 different SAs while the car was still under dealer warranty only to be told that "it's perfectly normal".

If somebody could figure out how to smooth out the 6-speed for a couple thousand I would be thrilled. It's the only thing preventing this car from being the absolutely perfect driving machine.
