I thought it would be cool to start my first thread for all of us to discuss the little things that excite us while driving this piece of awesomeness.

In manual shift mode and cruising in a high-gear, push the accelerator through the detent (resistance point) and then pull the downshift (left) paddle and the car identifies the lowest possible gear and shifts straight into it--I LOVE that feature... and it's unique to BMW M cars.
PS: I know this car and other cars with auto transmissions do this in auto-mode but BMW ensures manual mode means manual--and then they add this little gem back... ahhh, this all contributes to engineering the best driver's car.
