    Question 08 525 Transmission oddity or quirk?

    Hey Guys and Gals,

    First time BMW owner have been a Honda fanatic most of my life, just picked up an extremely low mileage 08 525i. I am having some weird occurrence with the transmission and im not sure if i just have the 'Hondamatic' shifting scheme burnt into my brain or its broken...

    Whenever i hit kick down and give the car a good boot i usually coast back down to speed(like when overtaking or passing) however in the beamer i find that unless i touch the pedal with any amount of pressure it wont lock back into lowest gear and usually hovers around a higher rpm.

    Thanks for the insight guys!
