Manual mode switching to auto

I noticed when i select manual mode and just cruising it will switch to auto mode. Is this normal?
In my M4 once it was in manual mode it stayed in that mode unless i switched back.

If the transmission is in D “Drive mode” and you use paddles to manually shift, the transmission will temporarily go to manual mode but then shortly switch back to auto mode. And you’re correct about the DCT transmission, it would stay in manual even if it was in D mode.

If you push the gear selector over to the right, it will stay in manual, but if you’re in automatic mode, and just say downshift with the paddles, it will switch to manual, but will go back to auto after just a few seconds of no further activity.

Yes, it should be a setting you can configure your M buttons to.
