I'm trying to determine whether the tranny (or the software controlling it) in my 2013 M5 has a problem or whether I'm experiencing a normal condition.

I sometimes find that the tranny refuses to downshift when I pull the downshift paddle. This only happens going from 3rd to 2nd or from 2nd to 1st. I only notice it when I'm slowing at slow or moderate pace deceleration from 30 or 40 mph to a near stop (e.g. slowly to make a u-turn or to pull into a driveway). I'm often going 10 mph or 5 mph or even slower at the time, so it isn't an issue of the software preventing the engine from over-revving. This issue doesn't occur all the time but it occurs fairly regularly. And it seems to occur regardless of which shift mode (auto or manual) and shift aggression (i.e. number of shift "bars") I have the car set to. Usually I have to pull the lever two or even three times before it obeys my command.

Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks.
